Guys,
I want to disable watchdog.sys to see if it’s the origin of a problem I’m
having. Anyone knows an easy way ?

RE: [ntdev] watchdog.sys
When you remove ( rename ) the driver, the system starts a never ending reboot loop ( at least my system does ) …
What is in fact the pupose of “watchdog.sys” ?

Assuming this is a standard driver, you could write an emtpy driver with a
blank DriverEntry() routine and overwrite the watchdog.sys with it. This is
assuming that watchdog.sys doesn’t create any critical objects or what not.
Sounds like form the infinite reboot syndrome that it might…

Watchdog.sys is the global kernel watchdog facility. Disable it at your
peril. I believe it is a kernel dll, do its clients will croak on load if
the entrypoints are not resolved.

Apparently it watches display drivers for hangs. It’s not uncommon to see a
driver hang waiting for a hung video chip that somehow fails to post a
status back to the driver. The watchdog apparently looks at video drivers
and bluescreens if they time out.

What version info does watchdog.sys give? I don’t have it on a XP Pro
system. I found some card for servers that uses a driver of the same
name. Did you get a virus or Trojan?

It’s legal stuff :-)) . You will find it in \System32 , also on XP.
My XP Pro Build 2600 system has it in system32\drivers. My Win2K system
doesn’t have it. My QA guy tried it in Win.NET 2003 and the repeating reboot
occurs there too. Come monday I’m going to write a dummy driver to replace
it and see what happens. If you see a big puff of orange smoke coming from
the general Southern New Hampshire direction, you know what happened !

It is a kernel dll. Its clients will croak as the kernel loader fails to
resolve dll entry points. Your system will not boot. Save yourself the
trouble. Maybe you should try disabling win32.sys instead. More of a
challenge, eh?
