Its not really possible to **** up that bad if you take some quick precautions (like backing up a copy of your NTOSKNRL.EXE file ... pop in the W2K/WXP cd, goto the recovery console and copy that backup to the C:\Windows\system32 folder

3. Convert it to the atttached color scheme
4. Save it in as a BMP
5. Grab resource hacker (http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/)
