And on the FZ series you WON'T be able to install XP directly from a stock install CD because of this very issue.

Cheers, Lee

Don't worry, AHCI is enabled in all the FZ series. You can confirm it by installing the Intel SATA/ AHCI controller driver.

I'm sorry for the previous post, I've made confusion.

Hello
Could someone please tell me which registry to change to enable VT on :
VGN-NR11Z
Bios: R0130J9 (yes R0130J9 not R0131J9 )

PS. 02D0 it's allready set to 0001 and VT it's not enabled

If we knew, it would be in the master list.

Thank you anyway I thought I should try asking maybe you forgot to update the list.
I know what I have to do now, I will try your approach ( change every 0000 value to 0001) and in case nothing it's burned I will post the registry for other "happy" vaio owner with R0130J9 Bios.

Hello

In case someone needs it
VGN-NR11z

Thanks for that wonderful thread. Was able to turn on VT-x and AHCI on my Sony VAIO SZ780N5.
