I made this last night (or early this morning I should say). I figured I would offer it for download if anyone wants to use it.

INSTRUCTIONS
-------------------------
? Take boot01.exe and place it into your Windows\System32\ directory. Mine happens to be the default which is located at C:\Windows\System32\

? Now this part may vary - if you installed Windows on your main drive in its default location, just take boot.ini and place it in your C:\, but MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR OLD ONE FIRST! I did this by renaming the original boot.ini to boot.bak. If your Operating System is installed differently, you may need to edit the boot.ini and/or place it in a different drive.

? Now reboot your computer and you should have an option to load your default OS kernel (mine is Microsoft Windows XP Professional) or one that has (Backup Line) in front of it. Load the default to see your new boot screen. If anything should go wrong, load the one that has (Backup Line) in front of it.

! This is optional, but I do it because I don't like having to wait an additional 30 seconds to load my computer. If you don't like selecting what OS kernel to load, edit the boot.ini file and remove this line:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS = "(Backup Line) Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now save and reboot to make sure it works.
