Hey everyone,

I’m trying to debug the disk.sys from Windows Vista on XP/2000. I’m not good in driver debugging, and even in XP though all the functions seem to exist, the driver doesn’t work.

Maybe someone can understand what’s going wrong or point me in the right direction.

it looks like someone has tryed to debug a driver without having any knowledge 

debugging is not something you can do without any knowledge 

its not easy stuff either for example its a lot of math, its not like a script language 

a bare minimum to start with would be to know assembly 
https://www.ic.unicamp.br/~pannain/mc404/aulas/pdfs/Art Of Intel x86 Assembly.pdf

but that´s the bare minimum 

 

its not stuff you can just do, like lifting a few weights around, or trying some drivers or some different versions, maybe putting a few different hardware types into a pc

you litterally trying to make a own CPU - and not just putting it into a computer no you making it this time a-z

You are right my friend, I have a lot to learn, I wanted to highlight this because it will fix the problem with the 2 To limit with GPT .

@Dietmar@dotexe1337@Damnationare you interested ?  

ok next besides assembly would be c++, windows drivers, physical harddrive knowledge and how its programmed to (not engine/api like createfile and writefile or script like "copyfile c:\a.txt c:\b.txt)

to write this to a windows xp driver you also have to have knowledge about pe headers sections, relocs ect.
