Thank you Brink for taking the time to look at that for me.
Great tut Shawn, thanks this will help.

Hello Gary,
The article below can give more details, but basically here are the sizes: :)
Understanding Crash Dump Files - Ask the Performance Team - Site Home - TechNet Blogs
Complete Memory Dump: Amount of installed RAM + 1MB
Kernal Memory Dump: The size of a kernel memory dump will vary depending on the amount of kernel-mode memory allocated and the drivers loaded. See link for more details.
Small Memory Dump: 64KB (32-bit Windows) OR 128KB (64-bit Windows)
Thank you for the helpful tutorial. I am new at this, so please tolerate my questions. My system was already set to to create a Kernel Dump file -- but I wouldn't have known that without your excellent tutorial. My system did the BSOD earlier today and now I'm trying to find that file. I may not be able to figure out what it says, but I figure it is a place to look since I have tried everything else I have found -- updating drivers, running system tests, etc.
Can you tell me how to actually find the dump file that was created?
