How Do U Change The Crappy Boot Up

hey i was wondering if there was anyway to change the bootup screen using a program

i've heard of bootxp but does it work reliably on xp sp1 and if it doesn't or u don't know, how can u change the bootup manually?

thanks

idicula

way to change it..

# Backup (copy) the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (most likely C:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe - the boot screen)

# Download the .zip to your computer

# Extract ntoskrnl.exe to a directory other than %windir%\system32 (most likely C:\windows\system32)

# Reboot your computer into Safe Mode (hit F8 before the boot screen) or into true DOS (from a boot disk)

# Overwrite the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (which should have been backed up) with the extracted exe

# Reboot your computer as you normally would

speaking of which does anyone have the grey apple boot?

here u go, i dunno who made this but ive been usin it for a fair while and its awsome.

NOTE its SP1

-The Unknown

Thanks just what i was looking for.

btw i think judge made it.

That better be the gray apple,.. if not get that one (the best is the grey apple by judge).

Another method:

Place the modded kernel into the \windows\system32 directory and give it a DOS 8.3 name like

****oot.exe

Then edit the boot.ini file located at C:\

to look something like shown below

[boot loader]

timeout=10

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

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="US Flag Boot" /fastdetect /KERNEL=flagSP1.exe

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Earth Boot" /fastdetect /KERNEL=earthSP1.exe

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="XP Cat Boot" /fastdetect /KERNEL=xpcatsp1.exe

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

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="World Trade Center Boot" /fastdetect /KERNEL=wtckrlSP.exe

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Men in Black II Boot" /fastdetect /KERNEL=MIIBSP1.exe

As you can see, this machine has 6 different boot screens.
