Here's how to do it:

1. Download the files...
Download Resource Hacker.
Download the replacement BMP.

2. Create folder, copy file...
Create a plugin folder in your PE Builder folder named 'BootScreen'. Copy NTKRNLMP.EXE from its usual location,
usually found in C:\pebldr\i386\system32 to the new BootScreen plugin folder.

3. Patch the file...
Open Resource Hacker and click File, then Open on the menu bar.  Browse to the NTKRNLMP.EXE in the BootScreen folder and open it. Open the Bitmap folder, then the 1 folder, then select the 1033 file. From the menu bar, choose Action, then Replace Bitmap.  Browse to the downloaded BMP file and replace the original bitmap with the downloaded one.


Perform the following actions for your PE Builder version:

Windows XP Pro, Windows XP Pro SP1, Windows Server 2003:
    Delete the entire Bitmap 10 folder. Save the file.

Windows XP Home Edition:
    Delete the entire Bitmap 9 folder. Save the file.

Resource Hacker will save the file and a copy named NTKRNLMP_ORIGINAL.EXE.
You can delete the original file or keep it as a backup.

4. Create INF file...
Create this BootScreen.inf file in the BootScreen plugin folder:

----------------------------------------------------------------
; BootScreen.inf
; PE Builder v3 plug-in INF file for BootScreen [WinPE]
; Created by Xephion

[Version]
Signature= "$Windows NT$"

[PEBuilder]
Name="BootScreen [WinPE]"
Enable=1

[SourceDisksFiles]
ntkrnlmp.exe=2,,1

----------------------------------------------------------------

5. Build ISO file...
Build PE Builder as normal. Your new PEBUILDER.ISO file will have the new Windows PE boot screen!
