Custom Boot Screen Guide
Important Notes:
- I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR COMPUTER
- It’s important to mention that Metabolix/HackBGRT are not commonly used tools and might not be suitable for most students, It may be used for more advanced students who are interested in the topic of BIOS modification.
- Also, before using these tools on a computer, ensure that you have the computer’s owner’s permission and understand the risks involved in modifying the BIOS, as it can cause the computer to become unbootable if not done correctly.
- This means that you might lose everything on your windows drive
