Custom Boot Screen

[hmaster10]

i use a pre-made boot screen, renamed it to "ntoskrnl.exe" and put it in system32 but everytime i reboot i still get the old XP default boot screen...

specs: XP pro w/ SP2

WFP is replacing it.

Go into DLLCACHE and rename ntoskrnl.exe to ntoskrnl.ex_

The replace the one in system32. A box will probally come up asking to you to insert your Windows CD, just click cancel.Restart and it should work.

Or, open up boot.ini in C:\

At the end of the bootup lin (the one with /fastdetect on it) add

/kernel=mykrnl.exe

Rename your bootscreen to mykrnl.exe and put it in system32.

Be sure the kernel is the proper version.

wat do you mean by "proper version" ?

is that the cause why when i startup w/ the custom kernel, i get an error message saying "NTFS.SYS is corrupted or missing" and it halt

Indeedy it is. You're using a SP1 or earlier kernel on a SP2 OS. See the problem with that?

Youhave to recreate the boot logo.
