debug memory dumps

So can one use WinDbg to debug SQL dumps and also the Windows OS related
memory.dmp files ?
If so, is there a good introductory tutorial on how to setup and use it ? I
dont intend to be a pro here, but just experiment and do some first level of
diagnosis
Thanks
There are a few items you can glean from the dumps but mostly you have to
send it into support. The symbols are not public. Check out Bob Ward's
chapter in "SQL Server 2005 Practical Troubleshooting" or his PASS session
recording if you have access.
