TazzDevil Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I have added the option to install a boot screen from a choice of 10 from WPI installer. The problem i amhaving is all the boot screens i downloaded and want to use are of the single processor type. So the questioni have is there a way to easily convert this file to a multi processor type. And if there is will it work on converting older sp1 boot screens to sp2. I tried useing the unattended boot screen guide from msfn but all i ended up with was failure and an empty bottle of asprin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TazzDevil Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 Ok i finaly figured out the problem !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5.1.2600.2705 was the file version that was beingextracted by following the msfn guide instructions BUT 5.1.2600.2180 is the only file version that my hyperthread sytem would boot from. So after many many many hours of downloading boot screens ifinally found one which had the ntkrnlmp.exe version i needed I then booted up in safe modereplaced the ntkrnlmp.exe with the new one then installed boot editor and everything as they say is history. Kinda alot of work but my installer now has the option of 10 boot screens which will installand work on either single or dual core systems If anybody else has this problem i will post the filejust let me know For now though im getting some much deserved sleep lol..
