WinDbg documentation says to replace a boot driver file using .kdfiles, we
need to connect the kernel debugger to the Windows boot loader (Ntldr), and
*not* to the Windows kernel. Thus we need the special debugger-enabled
version of Ntldr. It further says that this version of Ntldr can be found in
the Windows Driver Kit, in the *%DDKROOT%\debug* directory.
But upon checking I could not find any such file. Has the location been
changed (though a search turned out to be negative).
By using the technique for installing a partially checked build ( I have the
MSDN checked build of 2k) can I replace NTLDR ( the size of teh file is 242
KB ).
Also, isn’t there any way of replacing boot drivers on EFI machines?
