Where are the current download files for Symbols for Windows XP SP

[GreyCoderII]

I downloaded symbols files from download site, and have installed base, SP1 &
1a, SP2, and SP3 in c:\Windows\Symbols

I have a Debug mode boot. Of windows XP SP3 (multiProcessor)
I restart machine in debug mode.
Followed by starting WinDbg.
Set Sympath to c:\Windows\Symbols
Then enter Kernel Debug mode, and Local mode;
I get unable to find symbols, for ntkrnlmp.pdb

As a work around ....
If I change the sympath to use internet symbols it works
returned to Set Paths, and set internet path server instead of local version
Set Sympath to http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
then reload

noisy mode - symbol prompts on

Hello GreyCoderII.

From what I can see in your debugger spew, you have the wrong symbols for
your debug target in c:\windows\symbols...

DBGHELP: c:\windows\symbols\exe\ntkrnlmp.pdb - mismatched pdb

So in this case, your debugger is downloading the correct symbols from the
internet symbol store. Everything seems to work well as far as I can see.

What is the problem?

The symbols in c:\Windows\Symbols are downloaded from MS site for local use
WO internet. They are bad! Where do you get the current symbol set WO
internet server.

It looks like you did get symbols...

Is there something wrong with these?
