Thanks ojai00, for your interest.
I posted the same question on another thread and got the answer which I am pasting here;
"This could easily be done in the beginning of the process. Set up your boot disk to call a batch file, and just clear screen, echo the text to the screen, and then pause."
Now from this answer I could gather that I have to,
1. Set up my boot CD to call a batch file
2. Clear screen
3. Echo the text to screen
4. Pause
I should tell you that I don't know how to do any of these. I have made a bootable CD of win XP, slipstreamed with SP1 and would like to add a personalized welcome message preferably at the start of the installation.
I have asked the member who answered my querry about further explanation. I would appreciate if you too would help me understand the statements and will show me how to do it step by step, thinking that I am a noob.
