Help in debugging crash dumps...

Hi,
I am a beginner in driver develpment… Can somebody pls provide me links to some clear and simple articles related to debugging and analysing the crash dump using windbg.
I found it very difficult in windbg help.

Any help is highly appriciated…

This thing is usually done using in specific situations, so, it's hard to give some general advices.
Ensure you have all binaries and all symbols for the OS build on which the dump occured, and the dump file itself.
Then run
windbg -z DumpFileName
with some additional options to specify the directory with binaries - -i IIRC, WinDbg will tell you itself.

Then the majority of WinDbg's commands will work (except the Run/Step/Trace for sure), the exact set depends on dump file detalization level (mini, kernel or full).

Hi Subodh,

             if you want to use windbg for analyzing the crash dump just go to the help of the WinDbg and search for the same. These details are enough to analyze the crash dump.

Good luck
