FYI,
I finally installed Windows 2000 Server successfully recognizing the
Hyper-Threading enabled option. I forced the install to select the option
"ACPI Multiprocessor" by using the method F5 method during the install
process. Previously I said the option did not appear but it does you just
have to arrow up to the option. The list does not have a scroll bar so it
appears as though the list is complete.
Anyway thanks for all the help
