Need Help To Fix Boot Logo

I've manage to make a BCD backup but come on man...I'm only a newbie and
still cant work out how to add another entry like you...and even so with
two boot loader entry how does it know which one to use? which is why I
asked do you remove the orignal entry to get the newly created one to
work.

How did you edit the path to you newly created jonwinload.exe.mui???

Apologies for the delay. As Bryan Adams would say 'Don't give up'.

I think I see what you meant now in your original post. The 'Windows Vista
is starting' text that you get with RTM doesn't appear with SP1. It doesn't
appear either with the default 'Aurora' image, so I think that that is the
main change from RTM to SP1.

You can still get an alternative boot logo coming up though with SP1,
though. Assuming you've got an otherwise normally working SP1 installation,
these commands may help with that ..

#List current boot entries.....
bcdedit /enum
bcdedit /v


#Make a copy of the current boot entry
bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Windows Vista (boot logo)"

You should then get a successfully generated message containing a {guid} eg
{9ccd501b-0a1f-11dd-896d-00402b449c4b}
which you'd then use in the following


#Set a new path to a renamed winload.exe eg
bcdedit /set {guid} path "\windows\system32\JonsWinload.exe"
eg
bcdedit /set {9ccd501b-0a1f-11dd-896d-00402b449c4b} path
"\windows\system32\JonsWinload.exe"


#Set the 'noguiboot' (required)
bcdedit /set {guid} quietboot Yes

#Add the new boot entry to the boot entries list
bcdedit /displayorder {guid} /addlast

The 'nx' entry was a bit of a red herring, sorry - you can leave that one at
its default if you like.
+ in your screenshot you've got some strange additional entries such as
'detecthal' and 'usefirmwarepcisettings'

Getting rid of those may help (?)...

bcdedit /deletevalue {guid} detecthal
bcdedit /deletevalue {guid} usefirmwarepcisettings

The completed entry looking something like this ....

#----------------------------------
Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier {9ccd501b-0a1f-11dd-896d-00402b449c4b}
device partition=C:

locale en-US
inherit {bootloadersettings}
osdevice partition=C:
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {dadbd8bf-ce3c-1222-b7e9-82407a617fcd}
nx AlwaysOff
quietboot Yes
sos No
#----------------------------------

If I discover anything more about the missing text issue I'll post it in,
but I hope that helps anyhow.
