Change Vista Boot Screen

The Windows Vista BootScreen is pointless,dull and in short – BORING. The guys at Redmond,Microsoft (?) decided to hide a more visually appealing boot screen of Windows Vista for that blank piece of art (?). However,the hidden boot  screen can be easily enabled in Windows Vista in full glory and with very little trouble. I'm not sure why they didn't make the boot screen better but I think they wanted to give Windows users a surprise what Vista be hiding underneath (which failed miserably). Seriously,If you really want a better boot screen, you can check out my article on creating a custom boot logo which is easy to pick and good to go :) here
For the time being,here is how you can enable the hidden boot screen in Windows Vista -
Now..Here's the default boot screen:


And here's the hidden one, called "Aurora" (Nice name..)


For enabling it,all you have to do is type msconfig into the start menu search box, and hit enter.


Now navigate to boot tab,and then check the "No GUI boot" checkbox.

Hit OK and reboot the computer. You should see the new boot screen immediately on restart.
Note: You may get a Windows Defender error on the next startup. You can enable the system config utility using the tray icon and this error will go away.

Keep Learning :)

Change Windows 7 in Windows XP

I had windows xp and 7 on my pc but I re-installed windows xp because of some problems so now it only boots to XP but i'm sure there's a way to add the windows 7 to the boot menu without having to re-install the Windows 7 again

I found solution:
1. Insert Windows 7 DVD and boot into it
2. Go to Repair computer > Highlight your W7 installation > Click Next > Get to the command prompt and type the following:
Bootrec.exe /REBUILDBCD

If the command is successful, close the Command Prompt window.
3. NOW Click “Startup Repair” to perform Windows Startup Repair. After doing these computer will reboot automatically.

If it works, and boots into W7 while seeing the XP dual boot option, then you're good to go.

If it works, and boots into W7 but has no option for XP, you'll have to run some commands in Command Prompt, in W7, which I have written below. Replace the driver letter in the third line with that of the XP partition.
a. Get to cmd in W7. Run as admin if you need to.
b. Type the following commands and press enter, one by one.

bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d “Windows XP Professional”

bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addlast

bcdedit /set {ntldr} device partition=X:

bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \ntldr

When you've run all the commands, hit F8 at boot to see if it's all fixed.
