This looks handy but for the life of me I can't get the HAX to run. My CPU is compatible according to the Virtualization chart list. It's also enabled in the BIOS.
"HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode"

Looks like a common problem for others too - Intel - Installing the Atom X86 system

@wthomson, What API are you running through the SDK manager? I have tried 2.3.3 and 4.2.2

Android 4.2.2 (api 17)

I don't know, I had to download updates (most of the hour seemed to be the SDK manager downloading), change the bios settings and a couple of reboots.

Good luck

No, unavailability of virtualisation happens in Windows 8 if you have Hyper-V enabled even if you are not running a Virtual Machine. This is because Hyper-V, unlike VMware or VirtualBox which are type 2 hypervisors, is a type 1 or "bare metal" hypervisor. If enabled Hyper-V loads before the host OS and virtualises both that and any guest OSs so making virtualisation unavailable to any other virtuualiser.

VMware and VirtualBox only start virtualisation when they start a VM so you can have both VMware and VirtualBox installed on a machine and run one or the other but not both at the same time. Neither can run if Hyper-V is enabled on a Windows 8 system.

I use Windows 8 and VirtualBox

I use Windows 8 and VirtualBox, so I guess Hyper-V enabled is not enabled.

fyi, this utility Disk2vhd is also very handy for backing up and also creating a VHD of your windows install for testing, etc..
