hyper-v

Hello,

I have a Win 2008 R2 Data Center machine, and when I added the Hyper-V role, I got the following errors:

'Hypervisor' driver required by the Virtual Machine Management service is not installed or is disabled. Check your settings or try reinstalling the Hyper-V role.

Hyper-V launch failed; Either VMX not present or not enabled in BIOS.

ANy help would be appreciated as I am a n00b to the server world.

Thanks.
