How to change blue scandisk background (at windows XP startup)?

[aldares]

Is it possible to set for example black bacground like w2k?

You mean the screen where it says WinXP and there's a blue bar running across the bottom? Well, if it is then you can you many different programs like WinBlinds or something.

I think that he means the boot portion of the scandisk utility. I have been woundering about this as well.

I think the setting is the same used to change BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) colour:

@jaclaz, that's for win9x operating systems if i remember correctly

@aldares, you need to res-hack ntoskrnl.exe, sure about this.

although not sure if bootskin from stardock also skins that screen.

From the link I provided:

Can I change the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) color to something other than blue?

You sure can!

In Windows 2000/XP/2003, each time the Windows Kernel crashes, a blue screen appears, giving the administrator some clues and information as to what has caused the error. This screen, because of its blue color and catastrophic nature, was nicknamed BSOD - Blue Screen Of Death.
