How to include Symbol files

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I am facing a blue screen of death with my NDIS miniport driver at some
instance.
I wanted to debug the cause of this.I am getting a C5 stop error.I have
downloaded the XP SP2 symbol files and installed them in my machine.Can anyone
tell me the path I have to point to in the WinDbg for symbol path,source path
and image path.
I am not able to get the !analyze -v dump.I am getting an error

Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.

***** Kernel symbols are WRONG. Please fix symbols to do analysis.

*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for my.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for sdbus.sys
Probably caused by : my.sys ( my+27d5d )

thanks in advance.

Use the Micorosoft symbol server, trying to use the symbol files is a waste
of time, the second a hotfix is applied the symbol files are out of date.
Using the symbol server will pull down the symbol files that match the
actual binaries on system being debugged.
