Memory Dump<br />
If your computer is bootable, you can set Windows NT to create a memory dump file when a Blue Screen of Death occurs. To do so, open the System Properties dialog box from Control Panel and go to the Startup/Shutdown tab. Next, set the options shown in Figure E. Keep in mind that the partition where you store the memory dump file must have at least enough free space to store your page file, plus your physical RAM space, plus 1 MB. For example, if your machine has 128 MB of RAM, the partition must have enough free space for the page file, plus an extra 129 MB. <br />

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
