I notice some of my BIOS settings were disabled or in legacy mode for better support (usually somewhere like the manual it says XP compatible). Do I have to worry about BIOS settings when running a VM?

I'll be running on Windows 7 and likely using VMWare. OS would be Windows XP (SP2 perhaps but i may have a SP3 somewhere) and various Linux distributions.

You should make sure that all of the Virtualization options in your BIOS are set correctly (on!). But settings regarding drive configurations, etc are not applicable to the VM.

No need to worry. The BIOS on a virtual machine is independent from the BIOS on your real machine.

Just ensure that all the virtualization-related options on your BIOS are enabled and this should be enough.
