It may be what we need.

Yep, it is in one of the links I posted above:
http://www.911cd.net...&showtopic=8343
but I didn't try it.
It works by replacing BOOTVID.DLL, which not being the original one, can be "Resource Hacked" to insert custom image.
Download is here:

jaclaz also explained how to create a BMP that would work as a boot Screen.
@TheHive
That image is not made by me, you know how bad I am with graphics!
However procedure is simple, using The Gimp:
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/
1) Open a new file 640x480
2) Draw whatever you like
3) Image ->Mode -> Indexed -> Maximum number of colours:16 - OK
4) Save as -> Select File type by extension -> Select Windows BMP image .bmp
5) The Gimp will (probably) ask confirmation to Export, click on Export
6) The Gimp will ask you for RLE encoded, check the box and click on OK
The attached image is (badly ) drawn as above, please test it in bootvid.dll

@smiley
It should not be difficult, you need resource hacker:

Open the bootvid.dll file, choose bitmap 100/1033 then choose Action -> Replace bitmap
Or can you be more specific what the problem is?
