A quicker way is to just overwrite (essentially) the original textures by placing your new ones in the ''Data\Textures\Menus\Loading'' directory. You'll still need to convert to DDS, of course, but that's just about all there is to it. No ArchiveInvalidation editing is necessary. You don't even need to worry about case-sensitive paths. The problem is that any other mod that also replaces loading screens is going to conflict.

== Update: How to properly add brand new loadscreens ==
by Lancillotto
Ok, I wanted to add a series of brand new loading screens to one of my mods so I came here to learn about the proper way to do it, but I noticed that even here the problem of the "default elf" had not been solved yet. I think I have the solution so I decided to share it.
After scratching my head for a while I noticed that you have to do as follows:
FIRST be sure to have all capitals in your Oblivion Data folders:  Data\Textures\Menus\Loading
Insert your brand new loading screen (let’s say Pete_Load.dds) into your Loading folder
ONLY AFTER THE FIRST STEP give that path to your newly created loading screen in the Construction Set, so that the folders with capital letters appear in the CS path.
If you rename with caps the folders only after creating the path in the CS it will not work, so be sure to see those caps in the path you create in the CS.
After doing this and saving your .esp  it does not matter any longer if you rename the folders in your Oblivion Data directory back to lower case letters, apparently the .esp will still find them.
