Hi Mark,
Sure, a good place to start is:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevToo...g/default.mspx
You can download and install the debugging tools, then once installed go to
File > Symbol File Path. In the dialog for the location of the symbols put
in "SRV*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols" (no quotes).
Your boot.ini should look like:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Embedded"
/fastdetect /noguiboot
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Embedded
(Debug)" /debug /baudrate=115200 /debugport=com1
Once you get the debugger to connect hopefully you will get stop error
information that will help you with the debugging process.
Feel free to post back here if you get stuck.
HTH,
Brad
