How to hack-change your Windows XP Boot Screen

HACKING THE XP BOOT SCREEN

This is a very simple trick to do if you have done the same for the logon screen and the start button. There are 2 ways to do this trick that I know about one is doing it manually and the other is using a program called bootxp. I am going to tell you the manual way to do it, but if you want to know the other way just let me know, so I can do an update to the guide. Now once you have downloaded your ntoskrnl.exe file save it a general location so that you will have easy access to it, like my folder.

Once you have ntoskrnl.exe file in an easy access folder, restart your pc into safe mode. Once into safe mode go to the folder where your files are located.

Now that you are there copy the file that you want to change your boot screen too. Once you have copied that file, hit the window key + r or type %windir%\system32 in the run command, so that folder as follows.

Once there paste your new file into the folder and overwrite the existing folder.

Now that you have your new file in the folder restart your pc as you normally would and your new boot screen should appear. You can download this bootscreen here.

ALWAYS BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU EDIT OR DELETE. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS YOUR COMPUTER UP BY DOING THIS HACK OR ANY TYPE OF HACK. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

How to fix Windows Installer problem

Do you experience this kind of problem whenever you attemp to install an application in windows box (2k, xp)?

"The Windows Installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."

The ms website knowledge article 324516 gives 2 methods as a way of fixing this problem, but you might be very lucky if any of the 2 fixes the problem, alot of guys end up formating their systems and doing fresh windows installations or try wired ways of fixing it.

Well, the solution is very easy:

• click your root windows installation drive i.e drive where you installed windows
• click properties at the bottom
• select security tab
• add and scroll down to SYSTEM account click add and click OK.
• full control permission and click Apply and then Ok.

This should solve your problem with windows installer.

How To Convert File System, fat - fat32 to ntfs

• open a dos prompt and give the command.
• convert d: /fs:ntfs.
• this command would convert your d: drive to ntfs.

If the system cannot lock the drive, you will be prompted to convert it during next reboot.Normally you should select yes.
Conversion from fat/fat32 to ntfs is non-destructive, your data on the drive will NOT be lost.

Be aware that converting to ntfs will make that partition of yourdrive unreadable under dos unless you have ntfs utilites to do so.

How To Boot Xp Faster

First of all, this tweak only apply to those who only have one HDD on their primary IDE channel (nothing else on device 0 or 1) and a CD-ROM and/or DVD-ROM on the secondary IDE channel. Each time you boot Windows XP, there's an updated file called NTOSBOOT-*.pf who appears in your prefetch directory (%SystemRoot%Prefetch) and there's no need to erease any other files as the new prefetch option in XP really improves loading time of installed programs. We only want WindowsXP to boot faster and not decrease its performance. Thanks to Rod Cahoon (for the prefetch automation process...with a minor change of mine) and Zeb for the IDE Channel tweak as those two tricks, coupled together with a little modification, result in an EXTREMELY fast bootup:

• Open notepad.exe, type "del c:windowsprefetch tosboot-*.* /q" (without the quotes) & save as "ntosboot.bat" in c:
• From the Start menu, select "Run..." & type "gpedit.msc".
• Double click "Windows Settings" under "Computer Configuration" and double click again on "Shutdown" in the right window.
• In the new window, click "add", "Browse", locate your "ntosboot.bat" file & click "Open".
• Click "OK", "Apply" & "OK" once again to exit.
• From the Start menu, select "Run..." & type "devmgmt.msc".
• Double click on "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers"
• Right click on "Primary IDE Channel" and select "Properties".
• Select the "Advanced Settings" tab then on the device 0 or 1 that doesn't have 'device type' greyed out select 'none' instead of 'autodetect' & click "OK".
• Right click on "Secondary IDE channel", select "Properties" and repeat step 9.
• Reboot your computer.

WindowsXP should now boot REALLY faster.
