Xen users - Nov 2008 - Do i need HVM support of cpu to use xen ?

dear all:
  i just tried to use xen 3.2  to emulate windowsXP. However i failed to
create the windowsXp guest domain.And here''s the error message:
=Error: HVM guest support is unavailable: is VT/AMD-V supported by your CPU and
enabled in your BIOS?
=  i am using ubuntu 8.04 and my cpu is p4 2.6g (single core) which
definitely DON''T support VT tech and of course there could''t
be "disable vt"
options in BIOS. I am now wondering that whether i could use xen to emulate
guest  operating system without the support of vt in cpu? Are there some
command or scripts to forbid it?

thks

It''s not possible to create HVM domains without VT support in your  
CPU. You can use other virtualization software (e.g. qemu or  
virtualbox) however.
