Verifiying DMI Pool Data.....

[Jon McFarland]

When i turn on my computer it stops at a message saying "verifying dmi pool data...." and will not load up any further.  i have tried several different tasks to try and fix this including clearing the cache, resetting bios to defaults, clearing the cmos, updating my bios with an awd flash installer from the mainboard manufacturer as well as using fdisk on the mbr.  Does anyone have any other solutions short of reformatting my hard drive and losing everything?

Jon.....I think that message indicates you may have a hardware issue or problem....have you added or deleted any hardware recently. Go to the following link and you may find the solution.

How can it help if his computer stops loading?

If I encounter that error, it means my hard disk is not properly set (Usually due to my BIOS being reset).

You could try to configure your hard disk(s) in the BIOS. Set it from Auto to LBA, Large or CHA
