Hi All,
I am using firewire 1394 for WinDbg on two computers. I tried to reboot target machine after disabling firewire 1394 host controller but it’s not booting.
It shows windows is starting. But then the screen becomes blank.
I am completely clueless.
Thank you.

Does it break into the debugger? What if you boot in safe mode? What
if you *don’t* boot in safe mode? What screen exactly do you see
right before it blanks? What if you boot with /debug (or w/o if
that’s what you’re doing)? Etc.

Thank you for your reply.
It doesn’t break into debugger. I just disabled firewire 1394 host controller & tried to reboot it.
I was setting up the host & target computers for debugging with firewire 1394.
After I reboot it, it asks me for bios password. Then the screen comes up stating the options for safe mode, normal start or recover. I tried all the options. For normal start or recover, it shows windows is starting up & then the screen becomes blank. For safe mode, it shows the list of drivers all *.sys files.
Thank you.

Boot to the installation recovery console, fix the boot.ini to remove all debug from the boot partition, and uninstall/disable the 1394. Then reboot. The hardware wizard should restore the 1394 system drives and you can begin again. The VERY first thing to do is to create a non-debug entry for the boot menu That is the best way to save your ass the next time you screw up the boot.

How would I get to the installation recovery console? I am not getting any screen other that just windows is starting up. How will I be able to enable 1394 host controller without starting the windows?

Google is your friend. Between the Web, which has a live look into the
MSDN Library database, and Google groups, you have available to you all the
information necessary to start the recovery console from the *installation
CD* and enable your 1394 Host controller. Here’s a hint: The very first
link that shows up when you put Recovery Console into the Google
search field has lots of friendly pictures to help you here.

If you still have your Windows XP CD, try booting with that in the
drive. Tell it you want to Repair, and enter the Recovery Console.
Of course, once you are in the recovery console, I’m not sure what you
are going to do. Several folks have assumed that you modified your
boot.ini to add the /debug flags; if that’s true, you can fix that from
the recovery console. If that’s NOT true, I suspect you will need to
reinstall.

Not sure it is relevant when you boot into a recovery console from
the installation CD, but the 2c I want to add is definitely relevant if
you have RC installed as a boot option (which I strongly recommend
for everyone).
Here’s the problem: the default local security policy does not allow
the RC to access all files and folders, and I vaguely remember
that I had problems with C:\ (I was stuck in C:\WINDOWS\system32,
IIRC) until I changed this setting.
It is hidden in “Control Panel” -> “Adm. Tools” -> “Local Security
Policy” -> “Security Options” -> “Recovery Console: Allow floppy
copy and access to all drives and folders”.
And JIC: if you decide to install RC as a boot option, run
:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons
