Problem: WinPE images crash with a stop 0x0000005D blue screen error on some VMware virtual machines.
Solution: 64-bit WinPE images cannot execute on VMs defined with a 32-bit operating system within VMware. To temporarily work around the issue, change the Guest Operating System to a 64-bit version. Remember to change it back when finished using WinPE on the guest.

Thanks for that - I accidentally select 32-bit instead of 64-bit when creating a new VM, and was getting this stop. Re-creating as 64bit fixed it!

ReplyDeleteIn my case was working with a converted VMBox machine. VMWare was seeing as Win2003 when it was Win2008-64.
Thanks....
