Error when trying to install Windows

Error. The image file __ is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine

If you happen upon this error, then you are probably trying to install a 64 bit ISO while the server the server is running a 32 bit operating system. In order to move up to 64 bit (assuming that the box is 64 bit) you must boot from the disc. I am doing all kinds of neat stuff with Hyper-V, but right now I’m experimenting with some older servers, installing Windows Server 2008 R2 on them. Usually I run into problems with drivers and whatnot when goofing off with the older stuff, but so far, so good.
