How to get a mini dump?

On some client's computer the XmlDocument.Save() fails with some weird
internal error such as:

==============
Exception : System.IO.IOException
Message : Unknown error "-1".
Source : mscorlib
Help :
Stack :
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess
access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize,
FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean
bFromProxy)

at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess
access, FileShare share)
at System.Xml.XmlDocument.Save(String filename)
===============

I have reported such a problem to microsoft and they just told me they need
more information such as a mini dump.
how do I do one?
