When Windows installed selects the HAL library appropriate the the
hardware. If you install on a single CPU system then the uniprocessor
HAL is installed.
If you then add a second vcpu to the guest then the windows HAL won't
see it.
You'll need to replace Window's hal. See links below for some
background. I don't think there is a Microsoft *supported* way to do
this but I've done this a number of times without issue on XP and 2000,
but I've not tried this on 2003, 2008 or Vista

Hey Guys,
I have a fully virtualized XP guest that is set to have 2 VCPUs and in
the guest I see 2 CPUs but when it is under heavy load it only
utilizes 1 of the physical cores.
Both xm and virsh show that the guest only has 1 CPU, but my config
file and the guest show it should have 2.
What am I missing? How can I get this guest to have access to both
cores?
Thanks!
David
