While trying to install ubuntu 13 on windows 8 host, it throws the error "this kernel requires an x86-64 cpu but only detected an i686". However, mine is a new dell xps 8700 with haswell i4770 and I verified virtualization is enabled in bios. What could be going wrong?

When you define a new VM, you must check the "Ubuntu 64bits" option under the Version drop-down menu.
