Hey!

I have change my boot screen via boot.ini...but I wish to integrate it now!

I know that you cant use same boot screen for each SP, so I made one for them all!

I have a VM which uses a single core, but my PC which I use has dual (both less than 3GB) therefore the files effect are NTKRNLMP & NTOSKRNL...

*also uses RVMUpdatePack2.1.11 & DriverPacks*

Short version

ModifyPE & compress my kernals.

rename & move my uncompressed kernals into \i386\driver.cab

rename & move my compress kernals into the boot bit as well as \i386\

I start off running nLite (here is a bit of Nlite.ini for HomeSP1 (which this bit is the same for all of them!)

[Options]
CABMerge <<<<---- This right?
DupeFiles
TargetPath = "XP"
temp_dir = %windir%\Temp
NoWmpComp
NoKeepCp
RemoveMUI
AdvTweaks
CDPromptRemove
NoISOPreset

After that I add make the boot stuff bit (here is my layout btw)

\XP\HomeSP1 (Setup CD)
\XP\HomeSP2 (Setup CD)
\XP\HomeSP3 (Setup CD)
\XP\ProSP1 (Setup CD)
\XP\ProSP2 (Setup CD)
\XP\ProSP3 (Setup CD)
\XPH1\ (Boot stuff)
\XPH2\ (Boot stuff)
\XPH3\ (Boot stuff)
\XPP1\ (Boot stuff)
\XPP2\ (Boot stuff)
\XPP3\ (Boot stuff)

Next I delete all traces of NTKRNLMP & NTOSKRNL from theses folders above (that is the also the .exe and .ex_)

then I ModifyPE MY kernals...

ModifyPE.exe singkrnl.exe -c
ModifyPE.exe dualkrnl.exe -c

Followed by compressing them

makecab "SP1\singkrnl.exe" 	"SP1\singkrnl.ex_"

I then extract each driver.cab file with

CABARC.EXE  X ..\..\XP\HomeSP1\I386\DRIVER.CAB * D:\DriverCABSP1\

Next copy over my new kernal over the old one (also rename it at the same time)

copy /Y "Boot_(Disable_System_File_Checker)\SP1\singkrnl.exe" 	"D:\DriverCABSP1\NTOSKRNL.EXE" /V
copy /Y "Boot_(Disable_System_File_Checker)\SP1\dualkrnl.exe" 	"D:\DriverCABSP1\NTKRNLMP.EXE" /V

then compress it back up with

cabarc.exe -m LZX:21 N D:\DriverCABSP1.cab D:\DriverCABSP1\*

then move the new cab back into the old one...

I then repeat this with all the cabs...

I them move my compressed new kernals over the old ones in the boot bit and the setup disk (i386)!

This isn't working for me!

Any ideas what is up!

And what exactly isn't working?

My new boot screen!

IT will not show!

My Question is:

How do I make a multiboot XP Setup disk, with a custom bootscreen, not using boot.ini trick!

Sorry. I didn't catch the multiboot. I was wondering why you were going to such lengths for what I thought was a simple fix.
