I have successfully build my mirror driver under Server2000

yellow bang in device manger. I checked in driver property it is
saying “This device is not working properly because Windows cannot
load the drivers required for this device.(Code 31).”. I thought some
compatibility issue I had made in my code because of that this is
happening. Just to identify that I tried to install sample mirror
driver available in WDK but the result was same, Yellow Bang .

I am not able to debug the issue because system is not available
locally. I have asked to provide local system but till then if some
one can come up with any suggestion will help a lot here.

You keep saying “Server 2000”. Is that literally what you mean? You
are working with an operating system that is 10 years old? The fact
that you said “SP4” leads me to think so.

There is no “Server 2000” build environment in the latest WDK. That
support has been removed. You cannot use the “Server 2003” or “Server
2008” build environments to build Windows 2000 drivers. You must find
the Vista WDK and use the Windows 2000 build environment.
