Bootup 1st screen, COMPAQ in bigred letters?

I have got rid of or changed Logon, Boot, Welcome, and Shutdown Screens, and Desktop Wallpapers. Most instances of company adds are gone. The first screen at startup is COMPAQ in big red letters. Can someone tell me where to find that one, and is it possible to change it or junk it. I have a dual boot (Partition Magic). First partition 98SE and second partition XP. I try to dig around when needed.

 

I think you'll find that one pretty difficult to erase. It's buried in the BIOS/CMOS chip. It takes some real hot licks to get it out. Just close your eyes during POST, it's easier.

 

Thanks surferdude2. I guess I will forget it. Do not want to dig into CMOS\BIOS. Bad things can happen in there.
Okay, I am more dense than I thought. COMPAQ comes up before the BIOS checks the startup order (CDROM, FLOPPIE, HADRDRIVE). I guess this would prove it is in CMOS or BIOS.

 

Some bioses , like HP's, have a option to enable "boot time diagnostic screen ". Basically, it turns off the logo and turns on the POST Screen.

My sister's HP Pavilion 520w has that option, and I enable it when I am working on it, but turn it back off so the HP logo comes back up.
