WinDbg ~ Command

Hello,

I am new to WinDbg and am using it to debug my Win2K Bus Driver on an MP
System. After I press in WinDbg, ~ command shows the following
output:

* 0 1 Stopped 0xFFFFFFFFFFDFF800
1 2 Running 0x...
2 3 Running 0x...
3 4 Running 0x...

Does this mean that ONLY the thread on CPU 0 is stopped (and the threads on
CPU 1, 2 and 3 are running) ?

OR

All the threads are stopped/CPUs are stopped ?

What does the address 0xFFFFFFFFFFDFF800 mean ?

Is there any way to know which debug printf messages are coming from which
CPUs ?

Thanks
Puja

    0xFF.. is 64-bit ready. Ignore the first 8 Fs.

    Yes, there is just one thread stopped. The rest is running.
