Enable No-Execute Protection in my BIOS on Aspire One 753

I am trying to install Windows 8 on Virtualbox, so I need to turn on No-Execute memory protection for it to work, according to this article: Windows 8 on VirtualBox and VMWare: Your PC Needs To Restart Fix

I tried going into the BIOS and I can't find any options related to No execute Memory Protection. HAV is already enabled, but it is still not in the BIOS.

Here is some info:

I am confused by your title -- do you want to turn off the NX protection for the virtual machine? What does that have to do with Windows 8? – Kevin Panko – 2013-12-04T23:31:40.553

Please change "disable" to "enable" – pcmaclinux – 2013-12-04T23:57:37.703

Oops sorry. By the way, you can edit the question if you want to change something. – Kevin Panko – 2013-12-05T00:20:50.983

Try this wmic command from here: http://serverfault.com/questions/181839/how-to-detect-nx-xd-bit-under-windows If it comes back with TRUE, then you have it enabled already.

It says "False" – pcmaclinux – 2013-12-05T00:37:21.953
