VMware STOP: 0x0000005d Error

Warning:

I am NOT the original author of this article. You can find the original article here!

I recently ran into this error while trying to install Windows 2008 R2 Server 64 Bit on my corporate virtual network. Windows 2003 server standard was initially installed on this same configuration. The aim of the project was to remove the Windows 2003 server and install windows 2008 R2 server on it the system. Well, I completely forgot before starting that I had to change the guest operating system type. this eventually lead to this error.

After searching a while on google, I came accross the above mentioned article. It saved my day! The question is why repeat the same thing here? Well, I decided to repeat this here for my personal reference only. It might be useful for someone else too.
