Thanks everyone, but I'm still confused how to add a progress bar to my boot screen... I see progress bars on the other boot screens in the sticky, but I wasn't sure hwo to add one to mine. I have the reshacker thing, but I went about changing my boot screen with the added text to the boot.ini

THANKS!

ok i got this on my boot.ini file:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

where do i put the /bootlogo /noguiboot?

thanks

btw, does this slow down the boot process in any way?

IMPORTANT QUESTION, does changing this boot screen affects the boot time on the machine? does it slow down even just a bit? thanks

Right after fastdetect. Don't forget to add a space. It does not slow it down a bit. You're just replacing one bitmap for another.

I have been able to get rid of the default windows boot screen, although my original boot.ini is a little different

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

Does anyone else have the /NoExecute=OptIn. Ive placed the /bootlogo /noguiboot directly after the /NoExecute=OptIn

When the system boots up, all i get is a blank black screen. So my question is, where do i put the boot.bmp file? Also, how do i get the progress bar onto the file? Any help would be great. Thanks

mick0uziel

interchange the /fastdetect and the /noexecute=optin

that is how mine is.

[boot loader]

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
