This title contains the information needed to use the Microsoft kernel debugging and crash dump analysis tools. It will help to determine the cause of a computer crash and will help users write a program to connect the computer to an external device.

This book examines the different tasks involved in crash analysis and debugging from retrieving the state of the system to debugging of driver source code. At an advanced level, readers will learn to manipulate memory and data structures to find "lost memory" after a crash. The author also explains how to interpret Input/Output error logs. It also covers remote debugging.

STEVEN McDOWELL has been developing kernel-mode and operating system software for fourteen years at companies such as IBM, NCR, and Network Engines. He currently leads the platform software team at Network Engines, developing clustered server appliances. He has taught classes on kernel debugging and clustering technologies at a variety of industry conferences, including USENIX and Internet World. He is co-author of Universal Serial Bus Explained (Prentice Hall PTR).
