Read about .symfix command in WinDbg docs and use it to download the
symbols from MS.

Thanks for the help I was able to build the device driver
and to some extent I was able to debug ... using Windows Debugger

and VMware image

I just put some DbgBreakPoints in code and tried to debug it and I got
following error

"

Debugger is not using correct symbols
In order for this command to work properly symbol path should point
to .pdb files that have full type information"

I downloaded WindowsXP-SP2-Symbols where do I need to install this ?
in local machine or vmware image ?

and hw do i link to .pdb files ?

Well I downloaded Windows Vista WDK 6000 as I couldn find a separate
WDK for XP .

WDK 6000 is a bit obsolete too, use 6001 (the Server 2008 WDK).

Shall I install Windows Vista WDK 6000 in XP and build drivers ? Will
it work fine ?

Yes. It can be installed from XP up and requires .NET 2.0 (provided on the
same
disc).

It has several build envs - for w2k/XP/WNET aka 2003/WLH aka Vista or
2008 -
and for several CPU types - x86, x64, amd64.

So, it works from XP up, and can build from w2k up.
