LeveL Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 (edited) Before anything else when you boot from a Windows discyou get the blue setup screen with the following:It says Windows Setup underlined in the top left corner withthe message Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSIor RAID driver... at the bottom, followed by the Setup isloading files message when all the other support for hardwareloads in initially.Then it says Setup is starting Windows at the bottom.Then at the top it says Windows XP Professional setup (underlined)with the text The following list shows the existing partitions and unpartitionedspace on this computerThen you press D/ENTER/L/UP/UP/ENTER or something like that todelete the existing partition and start formatting the partition (well OK Ialways do!) and then you get to a screen saying Please wait while Setupcopies files to the Windows installation folders. This might take severalminutes to complete. Then under that it says Setup is copying files...with a progress bar. The whole time it always says the same Windows XPProfessional setup (underlined) at the top.What I am asking is1 - Is all this text a part of the same EXE or DLL file?2 - If so, which file?I want to make the ultimate customized setup!I have already ResHacked the file SYSSETUP.DLL that allowsyou to change the Windows screens as it installs (I am usingclassic setup done with nLite) but now I want to work on thevery first initial text mode setup screens, these are not GUIbased though and I am not sure (I actually have no clue) wherethis file is, whether it is a cabbed file or not (I wonder how itpossibly can be since it runs right away?)HELP!
