Well, The boot screen is not coming up on reboot, Instead MS-DOS comes up and
loads the files. The windows 2000 boot screen loads windows faster. Can
anyone give me the NTOSKRNL or somthing that has the windows 2000 bootscreen.
 
Sounds sort of like you may have an edited BOOT.INI with /SOS turned on?

Available switch options for the Windows 2000 Boot.ini file

It did not help. I need the Actual Screen in a .SYS or .EXE file. The
boot.ini is OK

Try creating a boot disk. For the floppy to successfully boot Windows 2000
the disk must contain the "NT" boot sector. Format a diskette (on a Windows
2000 machine, not a DOS/Win9x, so the NT boot sector gets written to the
floppy), and copy Windows 2000 versions of ntldr, ntdetect.com, and boot.ini
to it. Edit the boot.ini to give it a correct ARC path for the machine you
wish to boot. Below is an example of boot.ini. The default is to start the
operating system located on the first partition of the primary or first
drive (drive0). Then drive0 partition 2 and so on.

[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,1"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,2"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,1"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,2"

Another possibility is to try loading the controller driver also from
floppy. For the floppy to successfully boot Windows 2000 the disk must
contain the "NT" boot sector. Format a diskette (on a Windows 2000 machine,
not a DOS/Win9x, so the "NT" boot sector gets written to the floppy), then
copy ntldr, ntdetect.com, and boot.ini to it. Edit the boot.ini to give it a
correct ARC path for the machine you wish to boot.

In order for this to work you'll want to change the arc path in boot.ini
from multi syntax to scsi syntax to indicate that Windows 2000 will load a
boot device driver and use that driver to access the boot partition. Then
also copy the correct manufacturer scsi driver to the floppy but renamed to
ntbootdd.sys


Something like this below;

[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,1"
scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,2"
scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,1"
scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,2"

I believe the OP wants ntoskrnl.exe as in:

--------
Boot screen and Welcome Screen

I want to change my boot screen and my welcome screen. I
have a theme for each downloaded. My only concern is that
I am not quite sure how I would erase and go back to
original settings once those were installed. Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks

Save copies of both ntoskrnl.exe (boot screen) and logonui.exe (welcome
screen). Both are located in your system 32 folder...Matt
 
I don't think that's quite correct.


Power-On Self Tests (POST) run

Boot device is found, then the Master Boot Record (MBR) is loaded into
memory, and its program is run

The active partition is located and then the boot sector gets loaded

Windows 2000 loader NTLDR is loaded
-----------------------
NTLDR is the bootstrap loader for the Windows 2000 operating system, and is
responsible for the following operations:
a.) Enabling the user to select an operating system to start
b.) Loading the operating system files from the boot partition
c.) Controlling the operating system selection process and hardware
detection prior to the Windows 2000 kernel initialization.

Before you can start the operating system, NTLDR and the following files
must be in the active partition of your startup disk:
Ntdetect.com
Boot.ini
Bootsect.dos (if you plan to boot more than one operating system on your
computer)
-----------------------


Then;

The Windows 2000 loader NTLDR switches the processor to the 32-bit flat
memory model

The Windows 2000 loader NTLDR starts a mini-file system

The Windows 2000 loader NTLDR reads boot.ini and displays the operating
system selections (boot loader menu)

The Windows 2000 loader NTLDR loads the operating system selected by the
user If Windows 2000 is selected, NTLDR runs NTDETECT.COM. For other
operating systems, NTLDR loads bootsect.dos and passes control to it. The
operating system then starts up as normal, because bootsect.dos contains the
boot sector that was on the primary partition before you installed Windows
2000


The OP's query is quite cryptic at this point but if the "win2k bootscreen"
is what is needed then it is NTLDR that reads and displays it so the floppy
I mentioned should suffice.
