Verifying DMI Pool Data!

Question

I've been having an issue with my computer and it's been happening several times! I start up my computer and after the logo of the computer maker appears, I receive a message saying, "Verifying Dmi pool data." It happens very often and I'm able to fix it by replugging a few wires in, but recently it hasn't been able to work! I've made sure that the wires are properly connected, but I still get the same message. Any suggestion on what to do? How can I also stop this problem? I used to think that this was a problem with something I've downloaded, but I now doubt that especially since I haven't used it in a long time.

Answer 1

1. If "a few wires" means the IDE or SATA cables running to your hard disk, your hard disk could be dying on you.

2. If you just installed a new hard disk drive, set the motherboard CMOS Setup to Auto for the drive type. You may have to disconnect the drive first.

Enable "Reset Configuration Data" (may be "Force Update ESCD" in some CMOS Setups) in the motherboard CMOS Setup PNP/PCI configuration. (Rebooting will automatically disabled

it after it has done its thing.)

The CMOS may be corrupted. Clear it.

3. And finally, if all else fails, use your Windows XP repair disk (if you have XP) or the recovery disk that came with your computer and repair the BOOT SECTOR.

good luck
