switch to 2 processors

[jimmycav78]

Ok...here's my issue.

I was having problems installing WinXP on an old dual celeron machine (BP6). It didn't want to boot from CD no matter what I did and I couldn't get my hands on a boot disk. So, I removed the hard drive from the dual machine, installed it in another machine that I could boot from CD from, and installed the OS on the hard drive while it was in that machine. I then removed the hard drive from the second machine and put it back in the dual celeron machine. The problem was that the OS did not recognize both processors. Is there any way I can get (without a fresh OS install) to get WinXP Pro to recognize both processors?

well I don't know about finding the other CPU, but if your still having the problem, instead of installing the OS on another system, why not just copy the .cab files over. then run the install from the HD.
