@Ninka

I think it’s IVT-AMDV problem,

because XenServer uses IVT/AMDVor Windows Guest VM,

but if you don’t have IVT/AMDV, XenServer will use Paravirtualization Mode for linux, and you cann’t create windows Virtual Machine,

the same problem is KVM, I try to use KVM in ESX but fail,
because it need the IVT/AMDV

@Player1: No it’s not the IVT-AMDV problem. See XenServer which also uses IVT/AMDV and is able to make hypervisor in hypervisor.

it cannot work – there is just one IVT/AMDV instruction set and the hypervisor uses it to virtualize guests.
it would make more sense to try something similar on a non-hypervisor solution like vmware server/ws or windows virtual server.
i tried it on vmware ws but it does not work. not sure why but i suppose that it was using the IVT/AMDV (i forgot to turn it off).
if you have the time you can try it…
