How to use WinDbg to debug Vista?

Dear Sirs:

I get one driver source code with WDF and want to debug it.
I Setup "WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-slp-Symbols.exe" and
"dbg_x86_6.8.4.0.msi" into my
Host PC with XP-SP2 OS. And the Target PC is with Vista
OS(UAC off).

I setup target pc by following WinDBG topic:"Boot
Parameters to Enable Debugging->
Boot Parameters to Debug with a 1394 Cable in Windows
Vista"(Channel = 1) and also
set WinDBG(Channel =1) on Host PC.

Then I copy my driver(debug mode) to Target PC to ready for
trace.

But when i run WinDBG to wait for connect , but no
connection message shows.
I try many times and then same result.

Wha't wrong with me?
Please so kindly to help me.

Typically 1394 issues are due to the chipset you are using in the target.
The most stable 1394 chipset for WinDbg has been those using TI chips. You
can get such a board on the OSR website. I have found that Dell machines
with onboard 1394 typically have few problems with 1394 debugging.

So ... there may be nothing wrong with you . :)

Did you setup the Target machine for debugging correctly?

You should run the following comands from the targtet's command shell:

bcdedit /debug on
bcdedit /dbgsettings 1394 [channel:channel]

Please check "Debugging Tools for Windows" ->Debuggers->Installation and
setup->...Configuring Software on the Target Compute documentation for more
information.

Best regards,
Tanya
