If you do it by using a resource hacker on ntoskrnl.exe just make sure to look over what you do very carefully b/c if oy umake a mistake Windows XP will stop loading as soon as it gets to the boot screen.
Then how would you get back, run in safe mode?Originally posted by unanimous

That or last known good config. This is the reason that bootxp's backup line feature is awsome. If a problem arises, you just pick the Windows XP(Backup Line) option on boot and viola.
Actually once that happens you can't get into Safe Mode b/c ntsokrnl.exe is still loaded and of course doesn't work. The best thing I could think of is using the recovery console off the XP CD, or if you made a backup of ntsokrnl.exe and you have another OS installed, boot into the good OS and replace the current ntsokrnl.exe with the backup.
When mine did that (cuz i toyed with it hehe) i used the "last known good configuration" option to get into windows.
What version (windows) where u in?Originally posted by RoD

You can also modify your boot.ini file, using the /KERNEL= command to change the default kernel EXE. This is what mine looks like:
EDIT: the default= line is screwed up, and I can't seem to fix it. It should be \WINDOWS.Code:[boot loader] timeout=3 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 SpecialBoot" /fastdetect /KERNEL=ntosboot.exe multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah
