  2. Copy your logo image file over to the system32 subdirectory under the Windows system directory (usually c:\windows\system32)
  3. Rename your image file to oemlogo.bmp
  4. If you want to add your contact info in the system properties screen, create a file called oeminfo.ini in the same system32 directory and copy this in the file:
  5. [General]
  6. Manufacturer=TEXT YOU WANT
  7. Model=TEXT YOU WANT
  8. [Support Information]
  9. line1="ABC"
  10. line2="Pokhara-Nepal"
  11. line3="TEXT YOU WANT"
  12. line4="TEXT YOU WANT"
  13. Open the oeminfo.ini file with your text editor of choice and edit the sections under "General" and "Support Information"

& replace i386 to xpsp3/i386 in case of xpsp3
& rename as bSETUPLDR.BIN &xSETUPLDR.BIN& place in
g:\cd\boot\bartpeg:\cd\boot\xpsp3 resp
now to make cd use mkisofs.exe of pebuilder
& created bat to automate process
----------------------
@ECHO OFF
ECHO Starting @ (%TIME%) ....
SET _VNBR_=01
SET _ROOT_=G:\cd
SET CDTITLE="cd-%_VNBR_%"
SET CDFILENAME="%_ROOT_%%CDTITLE%.ISO"
C:\pebuilder3110a\mkisofs.exe -N -V %CDTITLE% -b isolinux.bin -d -iso-level 4 -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o "G:\ISO.iso" "G:\cd\boot\isolinux"
