how to display all ACPI tables from the BIOS ?

[name]

Hello,

I need to display all ACPI the tables which are in the BIOS because I
dont have them all in the registry.

Is it possible with acpi.sys or anything else ?
What are the available functions in Windows (xp for ex.) ?

thanks

IIRC the only part of the ACPI table which is used by Windows is in
HKLM\HARDWARE\ACPI.

Additionally WinDbg,
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/ddk/debugging/default.mspx, has
extensions to look at ACPI tables. You can install the kernel debugger on
the same box which needs to be inspected and attach locally ("File", "Kernel
Debug", "Local", "OK"). You can also attach remotely.

The following commands for example show the FACS and the FADT:
.reload ACPI.sys
ld ACPI
!facs
!fadt
you need proper symbols installed.

Other ACPI commands are described in WinDbg help.
