I am trying to locally debug my driver on vista SP2(32-bit).To enable
it,it(windbg) asks to execute:
bcdedit -debug on
and restart,but it appears to have no effect as even after executing(with
admin privileges) & restarting,it(windbg) still displays 'local kernel
debugging isn't enabled on this system'& instructs to execute
bcdedit -debug on
to enable it.

then how this configuration can actually be performed?

Local kernel debugging is almost worthless. You cannot set breakpoints,
you cannot monitor debug output, so why bother? You need to get a virtual
environment or a separate test machine.
