Hi,
I am running trying to break into a Windows XP kernel using WIndbg. I connected the host PC and target PC using serial cable. Host PC is also running Windows XP.
I booted the target PC in debug mode. But i am unable to break into the target kernal from host PC. WIndbg keeps on throwing an error “Write xxxx 0x01” “SYNCTarget Timeout”.
Another unusual thing is that the COM2 port on target PC which what was configured for debugging, is still visible from device manager even after configuring the system in debug mode and rebooting.
I checked the boot configuration of the system from command prompt using bootcrg utility and the ouput showed the system is running in debug mode with COM2 as debug port.
The baud rates between the two systems is also same 115200.
I added windbg.exe as an exception to firewall on the target system.
However when i go to msconfig–>boot.ini–>“advance options” and change the options there and click on “Apply”, i am seeing an error saying “An access denied error occured”!
Any clues on why i am unable to connect to COM2 port on the target PC?

Please show us the exact contents of boot.ini.

Why? You’re not using any network ports.
