A dual processor system generates a multiprocessor HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) when Windows NT is installed. This multiprocessor HAL cannot run on a single processor-based motherboard. The OS will have to be re-installed or the HAL will have to be converted to a single processor HAL before changing over the system.
