He fixed it himself apparently though
That's all I can do here. I've been trying to figure out this guy's crashing laptop, especially the hideous bit where it says "KERNEL_MODE_INPAGE_ERROR". That's as far as I'm gonna go.
(The second argument in the crash string says: 0xC0000185.)
From what Kari mentioned, this applies to the Windows 8 Release Preview WDK/SDK, not the OS itself. Even if you installed this newest kit on Windows 7 or older, this directory will also be used unless you specified otherwise in the installation.
I personally find it very strange that it also installed the x64 stuff in the x86 install redirect. It definitely had me searching for a while at first to discover it.
Use !error in Windbg with that NTSTATUS error that was listed in the second argument to get a definition of what it meant. Whenever you see "C" followed by a bunch of zeroes and a small number, you can often consider it an NTSTATUS error code, which you can run through !error to get an explanation for it:
In this case, it's pretty esoteric. Your next step is to figure out what the I/O error was that got generated during the I/O (IRP). I think !analyze -v sometimes displays this error in its output, but not exactly sure.Code:0: kd> !error C0000185 Error code: (NTSTATUS) 0xc0000185 (3221225861) - The I/O device reported an I/O error.
In the thread you linked too, I'm not seeing a recent crashdump the OP provided that mentions that bugcheck. What crashdump are you referring too?
That should work. Windbg is a pretty portable item, as the most I can recall it'll ever look for are environment vars for symbols and whatnot. You may however lose certain preferences and workspace settings if you start moving it around, as I believe that's retained in the registry.
Willing to learn, however WinDBG just gives me this what ever I do even the symbol file path is set according to Jonathan's instructions:

Looks like no symbol path is set. Open a blank copy of Windbg, press Crtl-S, paste the symbol path, then exit Windbg, selecting "Yes" when asked to save workspace info.
EDIT: actually it looks like there may be a typo in your path. Repeat the process (as I described above) and make sure there are no leading spaces, etc.
The symbol path will most likely be blank in Windbg unless something is open with it (dump file, open process, etc.). If you just open Windbg by itself it won't show up anything.
