Help tweaking my laptop

[NoxPT]

ok this is a bit hard to explain. I have a toshiba satellite laptop with windows XP home edition on it. when you first turn it on it brings up a toshiba boot up screen then the xp screen. I have already modified the XP boot up screen and login screen but I can't kill the toshiba screen. if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Look through your BIOS, but it is probably unable to be removed.

NoxPT, if I'm not mistaken, the "Toshiba" boot-up screen is embetted in the BIOS.

edit: I've been beat to the reply by minendo.

You are correct. The only way to remove it is to find a BIOS flash that does not contain that screen programmed in. Well unless there is an option to remove it in the BIOS.

thanx

ok next question, is there any way to access the bios without restarting the computer?

I'd probably just live with it if I were you. The motherboard on that laptop was probably created specifically for Toshiba so if you flash it with the bios manufacturer's firmware updates some things may not work correctly anymore.

Yeah....you have to restart the computer to access it.
