Here is the way to do it:-
Softwares required - Resource hacker *www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/

how to do it(i asume u hav windows directory in C drive):-
a>Open C:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (for windows 98 go to folder system instead of system 32)

b>go to bitmap->1->1033 .This bitmap is the background of the boot screen)
c>click action menu-> click replace bitmap and choose the background of ur choice
d>go to bitmap->5->1033.This bitmap is the logo of windows xp .Replace it by the step "c".

and about the drive check do u shut ur computer properly?

Just a word of caution,

i could not boot my PC into Safe Mode when i used LogonStudio.

If you have ever used Safe Mode, then i suggest you check the safe mode when the computer is working all fine before the need arises!
