Execute Disable Bit (XD) with VGN-FW11M

How can I enable XD on my FW11M?

Intel's Core2Duo P8400 does support execute disable. However, there is no such option in the Vaios BIOS (version R0270Y0).

A software-side solution is not helping since I need XD for a Windows 8 installation (XD is a requirement).

Thank you for reading!

I enabled Execute Disable in Windows (boot options).

Then I clean-installed Windows 8 Release Preview on my FW11M.

It works just fine.
