Is normalisation possible with the existing database?

Question

In our company, a product was developed in .NET as front end and SQL Server 2005 as backend.

Initially when they started the project they didn't follow the DB normalization techniques. Now they thought to go for DB normalization in which the database contains only one table that contains thousands of rows.

Is it possible to split this existing table and implement normalization?

Can any one tell me how to go step by step?

It will be quite difficult to do this now. The cost involved is high, as most likely your entire application will need to be changed.
However, you can just search the internet, you will get tons of information on normalizing step by step.

How could we move the data to the other tables?
