I was trying to import SharePoint 2010 VHD file to my HyperV following the instruction from
http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/SharePointSideshow/Setting-Up-a-SharePoint-Developer-Virtual-Machine but it failed.
This is what I did
1. Clicked on Import Virtual Machine
2. Selected “ Copy the virtual machine (Create a new unique ID) and browse to the location where I had the file
I got error message saying ..
Import failed. Unable to find virtual machine import files under location ‘C:\HyperV\SharePoint2010\’. You can import a virtual machine only if you used Hyper-V to create and export it.
To resolve the problem, I went through new virtual machine creating wizard
http://virtualizesharepoint.com/2010/12/15/step-by-step-guide-to-create-window-hyper-v-virtual-machine-for-sharepoint-testing-environment/ and this worked. Now I can start the SharePoint 2010 VHD

I am in the process of setting up SharePoint 2010 for testing purpose and I download the 2010 Information Worker Demonstration and Evaluation Virtual Machine (RTM) from
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9728417
When try to extract the files I got “CRC failed in 2010-7b\Virtual Hard Disk\2010-7b.vhd” , I try to download the files again and again but still failed and not sure which files are corrupted. After spending time searching for a solutions I found this.
To check SFV file i downloaded the http://www.traction-software.co.uk/SFVChecker/
I download this tools and checked my folder where I am keeping the downloaded files, this is what I got.
2010-7a.part15.rar is having some problem. I downloaded that file again and now I am able to extract the files and get the VHD.

My current environment is this but having problem getting internet access to SharePoint Front End and Back End servers. Since I am using blade server, it’s only have one NIC 
This is what I have to do to get internet connect to each Virtual Machine
1. Open Virtual Network Manager
2. Add a Internal Virtual Network
3. I am calling this as Internet network and you also need to check Internal only
4. Go your network properties and enable “ Allow other network users to connect through this computers internet Connection.
5. Now go to your Virtual Machine and if it’s not connected just click on Connect and it should connect you to internet

Setting Up a SharePoint Developer Virtual Machine
December 15, 2010 0 Comments
It’s easy to get started with SharePoint 2010 development using the Information Worker Virtual Machine (VM). In this episode, you will learn all of the tips and tricks to get the VM up and running.
The Information Worker virtual machine is a Hyper-V based VHD file that has everything you need to build SharePoint solutions already installed. The VM includes Office 2010, SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Exchange 2010, and more. In fact, this is the VM that we use for all of the SharePoint and Office training and Hands-On Labs on Channel 9.

Step by Step Guide to Create Window Hyper-V Virtual Machine for SharePoint testing environment
December 15, 2010 2 Comments
I am in the process of creating SharePoint 2010 farm in HyperV environment for testing purpose. I already installed Windows 2008R2 server and configured HyperV. I am going to create two virtual machine. One is SharePoint Front End and the other one will be SharePoint Back End server which is going to run Windows 2008 R2 and MS SQL Server 2008
Here is the step by step instruction how to create Virtual Machine and Install Windows Server 2008 R2. In my next blog, I am going to document how to install SharePoint 2010
1. Before I start creating virtual machine, I created a folder in my root so that I can better manage vhd files
In this case, I created a folder in C:\HyperV\SharePoint-FrontEnd
2. Create a new Virtual Machine
3. New Virtual Machine Wizard will start, Click Next
4. Specify Name and Location. In this case, I am naming as SP-FrontEnd and I selected store the virtual machine in a different location. Since I created the folder in C:\HyperV\SharePoint-FrontEnd, this would be my location where I am going to store the files.
5. Specify the amount of memory to allocate to this virtual machine.
6. Click on the drop down and select the network adapter
7. Configure Virtual Hard Disk – In this case, I am creating a new virtual hard disk. If you have an existing virtual hard disk, you can select “Use an existing virtual hard disk”
8.Install options for new virtual machine. I am going to install an operating system from a image file. I already have a Windows 2008 server image file sitting in my C drive. I am going to browse and select the file
9. Completing the new virtual machine wizard. This is the summary of your virtual machine configuration
10. Now you can see your new virtual machine and just click on “Start” to start your new virtual machine and double click on your server to see the Windows Installation.
11. You can see your machine start to install Windows
Hyper-V launch failed; No-execute (NX) or DEP not enabled on processor 0×0 (check BIOS settings)

Most of the machines have "Virtualization" Disabled by default in their BIOS. So the first thing you have to do is to make sure Virtualization is Enabled or turned on in BIOS setting.
System BIOS
The system BIOS must support the following:
- The virtualization technology included in the main processor, and it must be enabled.
- Hardware-enforced Data Execution Prevention (DEP), and it must be enabled.
You must enter the BIOS setup of the server and make sure that “Virtualization Technology” and “Execute Disable” are both set to Enabled. In most cases, the required BIOS settings can be found in these BIOS sections (actual names may differ, based upon your server’s BIOS settings):
- Security > Execute Disable (set to On)
- Performance > Virtualization (set to On)
- Performance > VT for Direct I/O Access (set to On)
- Performance > Trusted Execution (set to Off)
Please see the video: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163578
If your still having problem, check the following
1. Start | Computer | Properties
2. Click on Advanced System Settings
3. Click on Settings under Performance
4. On Data execution Prevention , if your a seeing the message “ Your computer’s processor does not support hardware-based DEP” you may not able to run virtual machine. Go back to your BIOS and check it again.
The virtual machine could not be started because the hypervisor is not running
