simple bootlogo for winxp

[mcmatrix]

I have prepared simple boot logo for my htpc.

 

First, copy BOOT.BMP in a directory that contains a Windows XP installation (typically C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT).

 

 

 

Second, in the [operating systems] section of your BOOT.INI file, find or create an entry that corresponds to that same Windows installation. To this entry, add the options /bootlogo /noguiboot.

 

Reboot and your xp has new shiny DVBViewer boot logo

 

example boot.ini:

[boot loader]

timeout=30

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

[operating systems]

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

 

 

Requirements for boot logo:

- Windows Bitmap format (bmp)

- 16 colours (4bit) (with a palette of any colors)

- size no larger than 640x480 pixel
