That is embedded in the bios itself I believe - not sure if it can be changed. However, you may have a read of the following which may help:

- deals with changing splash screen on Dell laptops
Best place to ask would be the Dell forums where this question has also been posed -

yea that top link from claudek...that has how to do it..but you need to find the specific utility to set the bmp in...other than that, its just as easy as changing the windows splash screen...change the bitmap and reboot...he is also correct though, it is in BIOS memory...not hard coded however, or else it would not be possible to change it...according to that article, that utlity can change it on a laptop, if it can be done on a laptop, you'd hope it can be done on something that costs 5x as much +
