Resuming Windows message in HORM

Hello.

I'm trying to develop my xpe image using HORM and EWF.
I would very appreciate if you give me some advice about following problems.
I'm considering the use of HORM + EWF, but I would like to make the system
does not display "Resuming Windows" message and Progress bar.
According to the research on the internet, I understand that it can be
replaced by using hexeditor and resoucehacker.
I would like to develop the display not to show any messages because I would
like to use the display in longways.
If it's possible I would like to replace "Resuming Windows" message and
"Progress bar" to bmp files.
Would you say it's possible?

I look for your reply.
Best Regards.

It is possisble, but you are modifying a binary file to do it. I think the
message is in NTLDR. Progress bar I am not sure how to change.

nami,

Technically it can be done - you will have to replace some resources and strings on the loader and the kernel (e.g., ntoskrnl.exe).
You don't really need any special hacking tool but any hex editor and resource editor will do that (e.g., VS Resource editor).
"Resuming Windows" is a string of ntldr (use hexeditor). "Hibernating..." screeing is a string and bitmap of the kernel (use
resource editor).

Legally No - it is not allowed to modify MS binaries on XPe.
