change boot screen

I believe that's not what HFSLIP is all about. TommyP should be able to tell if I'm right or wrong. Personally, I don't feel like messing with this either.

Agreed, this is not what HFSLIP is all about. I'm sure it's possible though. I'll leave it to the community to figure out.

hi all!

i kinda figured this is indeed not what HFSLIP is about ... this is just a personal wish list ... :D no offense meant ... (but i'd be happy to have it ... so i wouldn't have to put an extra file n HF anymore & have it slipstreamed to do such ;) thanks!

hi TC/TP! my inquiry is boot screen related so i've posted it here ... if XPize is integrated, HFSLIP seems to leave out changing of bootscreen ... otherwise, HFSLIp allows XPIze to change the bootscreen ... as such, would it be possible to allow for the bootscreen to be changed even when slipstreamed? thanks!

still interested if HFSLIP will allow for changing of bootscreen via an image we may put in a particular HFSLIP folder? ... changing of icons were made possible in 2K ... why not for XP? :D ... again, just a wish list ...

There's only one way to slipstream XPize into a source (according to its documentation) and HFSLIP is using that. If there are other ways, you should ask the author (XPero) for more info because they aren't publicly known.

Hey Kiki,

Since reading your post I thought I would try it. It works for my Win2k just as Draugen and S-M suggest.

Put a modified and 'makecab'ed ntoskrnl.ex_ in FIX.

The bmp should be 640x480 and 16 colors. I used reshacker to change the image.

Here is the one I made:

test5.zip

hi squeeto & others! i tried using reshacker to change the 5th bitmap (640x480x16) in ntoskrnel.exe & cabbed it (MAKECAB /D CompressionMemory=21 /D CompressionType=LZX ntoskrnl.exe) but when i placed it in FIX ... nothing changed :( is there something wrong with what i did? could this work in XP? would there be anything else aside from bitmap 5 that needs to be changed? thanks!

Kiki,

The 1st bitmap is the one that needs to be changed. If you go here you will find some help on changing the bootscreen.

Also, if you have a multiprocessor instead of a uniprocessor then ntkrnlmp.exe is copied over and renamed ntoskrnl.exe. Plus these files are in driver.cab.

Good luck
