hello guys,

i'm using a custom bootlogo (OEMkrnl.exe)

but i want a option to remove the /kernel=OEMKrnl.exe from my boot.ini so i can have the normal bootlogo

i tried replacing boot.ini with a batch file but it doens't seem to work with an unattended setup.

any help would be nice

cheers

should just be a case of copying the line for your current windows in boot.ini and pasting it to second line adding /kernel switch to second line. Make sure you have got the option turned on to display list of operating systems and rename one so they both don't use same name

nah don't want a boot menu

what i want is the option to say i want a normal bootlogo when installing soft unattended.

i use wpi to install software and reg tweaks

ps i tried to use some console ini changers but they can't seem to change the long string

Here is a cool trick using wmic.exe:

The following code would give you the current entry (or entries?) in Boot.ini:

%SystemRoot%\system32\wbem\wmic.exe ComputerSystem get SystemStartupOptions

At work the above gives me:

SystemStartupOptions
{""Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn"}

Now if I want to change it by adding the /kernel=OEMKrnl.exe option I would have to give:

%SystemRoot%\system32\wbem\wmic.exe ComputerSystem Set SystemStartupOptions= '"Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn /kernel=OEMKrnl.exe'

Note that I am using single quotes around the expression that I am supplying to wmic.exe ...

I guess you would have to play around with this if you had multiple entries in your boot.ini file ...

Hope this helps

great man it works

tnx alot

run command in cmd prompt to change attributes of "BOOT.INI"

attrib -h -s -a -r boot.ini

then edit it with the text editor

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

timeout=30

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTOUT

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTOUT /kernel=OEMKernel.exe

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

second option boot with your custom bootscreen

and first for default

save & exit ...............

Lets do fun and enjoy...................! Balle Balle

use built in command to edit boot.ini

bootcfg /raw "/fastdetect /noexecute=optin /kernel=oemkrnl.exe" /ID 1

for more info run cmd and type

bootcfg /?

you can't change with bootcfg , only add.

and wmic.exe is also built in
