Tutorial Read Me Information:

This Tutorial is for those whom are facing problem during converting the files into .CAB file, so here I will show you how to convert your files to .CAB file. It probably requires when people edit their Windows Load Screen files i.e "ntkrnlmp". The file basically located inside Windows XP Setup CD, where inside I386 folder consists "SP2.CAB" file and Windows Service Pack 3 consists SP2.CAB and SP3.CAB files, which may easily be extracted using Winrar, 7Zip and other relevant software.

But when users complete their editing with ntkrnlmp file etc, and wants to reconvert it into SP2.CAB or SP3.CAB files they will start facing problems but many of the users are known about this that how can they convert it. So this Tutorial is for those who are unable to do this.
