DESCRIPTION: The HAL Upgrade/Downgrade Utility is used to upgrade from the Uniprocessor 
HAL and kernel files to the Multiprocessor HAL and kernel files. Both the HAL and the 
kernel files are located on the Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 CD.

The Compaq HAL Recovery Option is a feature that allows a user with a multiprocessor 
system to recover from blue-screen errors that could occur as a result of:

 - Mismatching hardware with the installed HAL 
    (e.g., multiprocessor HAL with one processor only)
 - Problems with the Multiprocessor HAL file
 - Problems with the Uniprocessor HAL file
