ChrisKuhli Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) What's about patching ntoskrnl.exe for an own bootscreen from within an installation of (my) pack(s)?I don't think it's too dangerous, i would do it like TuneUP Styler does:Copy original file to safe place, e.g. ntoskrno.exe <- Other names i should know? E.g. multiple processors kernels...patching new copy of original file NewKrnl.exe with new ScreenOf course changing boot.ini, to this:[boot loader]timeout=30default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(6)\WINNT[operating systems]multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(6)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect /Kernel=NewKrnl.exemulti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(6)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (Old Bootscreen)" /fastdetectHmm?

ChrisKuhli Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) Err - after posting that i realized that is not a XPize related topic... But - here in this MSFN part XPize maybe is using Reshacker ontopic?Btw zedox are you interested using that method in future versions of your pack integrating my Darkside-Bootscreen Darkside.rar (attached of posting in former thread of you)?

zedox Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 O, what I mean't was... what was the point of creating this topic?I've already got a method of applying the bootscreen, which seems to work well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKuhli Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 I need a method that runs for slipstreaming - what betas of my pack should support. This thread is NOT WinXP related but Customizing.The intention is: What are the technician thinking - and should ntoskrnl edited via a script running in a XPize Installer - or mustn't?

zedox Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I use the XPize Installer, which seems to work fine, I havn't had any complaints that it hasn't yet.You should make your posts a bit clearer... the original didn't really explain what you wanted!

ChrisKuhli Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hmm, okay. Btw i took a close look into your installer package - fine doing with ntkrnpa/ ntoskrnl. But, the bootscreens differs between WinXP and Win2K. But for that i will ask in the neighbourhood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
