HAL for Windows 2000

i`ve a Proliant 2500 E24 (with 2 PentiumPro 200 MHz).
After i`ve Windows2000 Adv. Server with SP2 installed, only one CPU is shown in Configuration.
I`ve selected another HAL, included in Windows named "COMPAQ MPS SYSTEM" for MPS-Support, but the Server crashed and need to be reinstalled.
has anybody suggestions ?

Re: HAL for Windows 2000

Go into Device Manager and under COMPUTER...If it says Uniprocessor then go to the DRIVER TAB and then choose UPDATE DRIVER, next....next....please make sure you choose the correct one. IF it says ACPI then use the same. If it says MPS then choose that one..
Go into the F10 partition and at the first window type CTRL A a dialogue box should appear asking about ADVANCED MODE. Hit ENTER. Choose SYSTEM CONFIG -> Config HW -> Review and Modify -> View and Edit Details. Hit PAGE DOWN twice and there you will see ADVANCED FEATURES. You will then see APIC MODE . Change that to Full table and then save and exit. Please keep me posted.
