    Look up MDOP, which includes tools to set up the LOGO. Used for Corporate Installs, mostly. Ask someone with a subscription to MSDN or get your own!

    (Also, might be a BETA version for FREE)

    To replace the boot screen with your own you can simply do this:
    Edit the file C:\boot.ini
    It has a line

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

    Add 2 options to this line

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

    Then you put your private boot image into C:\Windows. The name MUST be boot.bmp
    Also the image must be a bitmap of 640x480 pixels and I think it is restricted to 16 colors (4bit color depth).
