HELP!! Win 2K Pro won't recognize my Dual Processors!

Guest

I have Win 2000 Pro with SP#2 on my system which has 2 P3 700 MHz processors.
I have a Romtec Trios on this system (which enables me to boot up with 3
different Hard Drives and so 3 different OSs, 1 at a time). Win XP PRO
recognizes both processors, but Win 2000 Pro doesn't (although the help info
says it should).

Everything else works fine .

I don't want to go through the hassle of doing a clean re-install of the OS
(and thus all the programs I run on it).

Is there some way to get the existing install to recognize both CPUs?

Please let me know!

PS: I added the 2nd processor later (it is identical to the first one and
works well under Win XP Pro, just not in W2K)

Could someone point me in the right direction here?

Thanks!

I read your reply to go to right click "My Computer", gp to "properties"
then "computer" and update the drivers. This didn't work at first (it just
re-installed the same ones), but when I selected the driver to install and
then asked it to display ALL the available drivers, i was able to select the
"Multi-Processor" option and I was home free!

Thnaks so much! My PC runs great now that it is using both CPUs!

Thnaks!
