You can find the Vista WDK on connect also. The Vista WDK is the correct
tool to build drivers for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
You can use the Longhorn Beta WDK but if you are developing a driver with
WDF it will only work on Longhorn at present. If your driver can be
developed with WDF it should be.

Yes, you can use the same. Just select the appropriate Windows XP build
environment when building drivers for XP with the WDK.

Thanks for your help, i have the error: "STOP:C000021a" (problem with
windows logon process" and i found this solution:
http://www.greatis.com/security/BSOD_Windows_Logon_Process_C000021a_c0000142.htm
In this article, the author say: "I made the search in the Windows XP DDK
headers.", for this reason i want download "windows XP DDK". In connect, i
have 2 alternatives:

1.- WDK Longhorn Server Beta 3 "for Windows Driver Development only. For
Logo content - use the WLK."

2.- Windows Driver Kit RTM (Vista) "The Vista RTM WDK 1.0 is for both driver
development and Logo"

What should I download?

If you just want data then download the WDK Longhorn Server Beta 3 it is a
lot smaller than the Vista WDK because it does not contain the testing
stuff (which has moved to the WLK). If you want to actual driver
development, the get the Vista WDK. By the way the status codes are in
ntstatus.h, also you may want to download WinDBG since it's documentation
contains the best descriptions of the Blue Screen codes
