| [QUOTE]Originally Posted by hermitd: Hi all... i am currently running xp pro on single proc (dual proc capable) system and 2morrow i am adding the second processor. To take the advantage of multi processors.. i need to install the multi-proc kernel. I tried looking around but that hasnt helped so far. Any way to do so without re-installing everything ?[/QUOTE]First, let me say that you should do some research on this and make sure you know what you're talking about, AND what I'm talking about because I may be wrong. Second, let me say that I convey no warranties and no liability with the advice I'm about to give. All info is provided AS-IS. Now that that's out of the way... Now, it's possible and hopefully likely that XP detected your system as dual-proc capable and loaded the correct kernel automagically. Open Device Manager, expand "Computer". It should be the first node in the tree. If XP detected your machine as dual-proc capable, you should see something like "Multiprocessor ACPI PC" or something to that effect. If this is the case, there should be nothing else you need to do. Just shut down, install the proc, boot up and you should be all set. If XP [b]didn't[/b] detect your machine as dual-proc, then it should say: "Advanced Config.... (ACPI) PC". In this case, you need to switch If you see ACPI PC, then you should switch it to the multiprocessor kernel. I haven't actually done this through the XP device manager, but I think it's similar to the Windows 2000 one. Double click on the ACPI PC node, then switch to the driver tab and then click "update driver" Check "Install from a list or specific..." Check "Dont' search, I will choose..." Hopefully, the multiprocessor kernel will show up in the list. If not, then you must resort to more clandestine methods such as a parallel boot and replacing the file manually. You might also be able to do this from recovery mode. You can get yourself into lots of trouble here, so I won't even try to go into to explaining the details of a manual file-copy kernel replacement. I did that on both NT4 and Win2K once and it wasn't fun. ---------------------------------------------- [i]"We're planning on adding an icon for that..."[/i] [emote|:s] |

| [QUOTE]Originally Posted by hermitd: i have seen that one.... but wasn't sure about it... as for trying the recovery console... it doesnt support any commands relating to re-installing the kernel... but i will try the device manager thing. What i was planning was for device manager to detect hardware changes and do the dirty work but i will try tomorrow.. [/QUOTE]The RC doesn't have commands for replacing the kernel, you'd have to use the RC to swap the HAL files around. You'd have to copy the correct kernel from the CD or SP1 files, extract it, rename the old one and then put the new one in. But don't try this unless you know what you're doing because there's some other files that you may have to replace. I think you generally need to replace the HAL and the kernel, but sometimes just the HAL. This probably has changed slightly with XP than from NT and Win2K, but not too much. At any rate, it's dangerous business and sure to cause a dead box if you don't do it right. So don't try it until you've found a step-by-step guide on the Internet. I think the device manager thing is your best bet. Failing that, it'd probably just be easier and safer to reinstall =( ---------------------------------------------- [i]"We're planning on adding an icon for that..."[/i] [emote|:s] |
