Please ignore my last message.. Here is the line I have under symbol files
in windbg and env variable of winnt

C:\Debug;SRV*C:\WINNT\Symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

C:\Debug contains my driver .pdb and apps. and C:|\WINNT\Symbols should
contain my windows debug stuff.



Here I run the command again and this is what I got..

kd> !sym noisy

noisy mode - symbol prompts on

kd> .reload /f nt

DBGHELP: ntoskrnl.exe is stripped. Searching for dbg file

It seems that it doesn't understand that it should look under
c:\WINNT\symbols for the ntoskrnl.exe stuff. Why?

Please note that I'm working on win2000 and using windbg 6.3.0017
