You mean the screen where it says WinXP and there's a blue bar running across the bottom? Well, if it is then you can you many different programs like WinBlinds or something.

I think that he means the boot portion of the scandisk utility. I have been woundering about this as well.

I think the setting is the same used to change BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) colour:

From the link I provided:

Can I change the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) color to something other than blue?

You sure can!

In Windows 2000/XP/2003, each time the Windows Kernel crashes, a blue screen appears, giving the administrator some clues and information as to what has caused the error. This screen, because of its blue color and catastrophic nature, was nicknamed BSOD - Blue Screen Of Death.
