Hi,
Thank you for the reply. I have a new problem now. I was referring to WinDbg online help. It stated that I need to disable 1394 Host Controller on target machine & reboot. So I did it on laptop. But now I am getting a blank screen on laptop. Windows starts up but it doesn’t ask for password & the screen becomes blank.
I tried to reboot in safe mode but it didn’t help. Please give me some suggestions.
Thank you.

You set these paths on the host computer. The Debugger documentation has lots of information on this. Look at .sympath and .symfix.
Briefly:
kd> .symfix
kd> .reload

It also seems to help if you disable the 1394 Net Adapter on the host. Be
careful not to disable the 1394 Host Controller on the host.
So I did it on laptop. But now I am getting a blank screen on
laptop. Windows starts up but it doesn’t ask for password & the
screen becomes blank.
Is the debugger sitting at a breakpoint, waiting for you to tell it to go?

You really like safe mode, don’t you?

Thank you for your reply. I disabled the host controller on target machine & so its not booting up. I don’t want to lose the data. If anybody can help me recover my system, it will be highly appreciated.
I don’t like safe modes, it was just I was told to do so from my supervisors. I am new in this field & so any guidance is appreciated.

It’s unlikely that your data is lost; it’s hard to tell you what to
do next without sitting there and fiddling with it a bit. If you’re
so worried about your data, though, you should NOT be using that
computer as a debug target. I’d get my data off that drive before
anything else - put it in another computer as a slave drive if need be.
Are you able to try booting without the debug switch?
Is your 1394 controller on an add-in board or is it built-in? Take
out the card if you can.
Good luck; I don’t know where to go from here.

Did you put the command line switches in the boot.ini yet? If not, you
will need to copy a boot.ini with the correct switches onto your disk. If
you have a FAT32 filesystem on your boot drive, you can just use a dos boot
floppy, if you have NTFS, you can use the Recovery Console on the Windows
CD, or you can buy NTFSDOS from Winternals, the same folks that provide the
free utilities at SysInternals.
Although the system should boot without the boot.ini switches, having them
should make it a bit easier to figure out where it’s going wrong and not
displaying anything. I don’t expect it to be especially easy, though.
I don’t like safe modes, it was just I was told to do so from my

Sounds like you’ve had a tough introduction to kernel development.

It is my laptop. So I guess it must be built in.

Ouch!
Maybe try disabling the 1394 controller in the laptop’s bios?
No fun…

So is there any way to enable the host controller? I am not able to star windows. Or should I load restore CD?

If it is a question of getting your system up and running like many others have mentioned its difficult to know whats going wrong from your description.
However since you have a laptop and you might find it difficult to pull out the disk and backup here is an easy solution. Install Linux and access your ntfs filesystem from within it. Once your data is backed up its time to play dirty with the system. In any case I find it useful to have linux on my target machine so its not a futile work to install the same.
