Not being familiar with Windows dumps, but only with Linux kdump (which is 
basically
a mini-Linux distro running in 64MB - that includes the initrd.img and + RAM

which can dump the entire memory on to whatever you want (NFS, disk, USB, etc).
How does Windows natively/normally do its dump? Is it just dumping the entire 
memory space
on the local disk? Or do you have to set special flags to do so from the driver?


Yes, it normally dumps it's memory to the device using a special incarnation of the driver stack for that device.
