Driver debugging issue

Can anyone teach me how to step by step debug a kernel mode driver in
C++ source rathar than in DASM?
I am currently using DriverStudio 3.x but I don't know how to break a
driver. I've tried using DbgBreakPoint(), but it breaks in assembly
code. How can I debug in my C++ source?
also, if I issue GO command after breaking at DbgBreakPoint(), the
target system crash and reboot. How to solve it?
Besides Driver Studio, tutorials on how to debug kernel mode driver
in C++ source using WinDbg will also appreciated.

Thanks

David

Have a look at

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/Debugging/

Download the latest WinDbg there. Make sure to include the Symbol
Server in your symbols path.

WinDbg forum is "microsoft.public.windbg".

I think you only need to load symbols in the debugger.
Look under the options and specify a path, or make it load the symbols
you need manually when it breaks into the debugger.
If I remember well diverstudio handles also pdb files.

Use Compuware SoftIce kernel mode debugger - the only
product that allows you to step through kernel code
running on the same machine. Otherwise you need to use
windbg and have target and host machine.
