boot screens and tattoo

I would like to install two copies of xp home on system with different serials, but when booting they both come up with the same heading, is there any way this can be avoided?

also i have a packard bell which comes with a tattoo program but dont understand how it works, any info about it would be useful.

thanks

Just curious, why do you want the same OS twice?

To change the names that show on startup, go to Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > Startup and Recovery Settings. From here you can edit the names that show on startup.

Hope that helps
