VM Player - Perfect for loading 64bit OS

Using Virtual PC I was unable to load up 64 bit operating system such as Windows 2008 R2.  However using VMWare Player this was all solved and runs great.  I use this on my Apple imac to load a windows enviroment.

Trying to load Windows R2 on a new VMWare Image

I received the following error whe trying to load Windows R2 on a new VMWare Image

The buslogic SCSI adapter is not supported for 64-bit guests in this release. Please consult the documentation for the appropriate type of SCSI adapter to use with 64-bit guests.
Failed to configure virtual device scsi0.


The problem was due to me having a default image created as Windows XP so already a 32bit. 

To correct I setup a new image and specified the Windows R2 Standard as the operating system.
