Hi all,

I have PIII processor with 1ghz speed and intel 810e (his) motherboard with segate 40gb HDD.Windows 2000 was installed on that M/C i was formated and install nt server 4.It was started perfectly but when i booted the m/c it gives me verifying dmi pool data. and m/c stop responding there.i was install windows 2000 professional on same m/c without chaning anything it was install without giving any error.

i can't understood what is wrong with nt server. Please help me to find out of this solution.

I have the same problem. Did you find a solution? Does yours also say to boot from a boot disk?

9 out of 10 times it is caused by a bad hardrive. Try stripping all your parts except for the videocard, processor, keyboard and harddrive. If you still get the error, you will prob. need a new HD.

It shouldn't be your hard drive. Its your opperating system. One of the programs that you are loading probly corrupted your operating system. Try reloading.

More than likely you hard drive is fine what you need to do is boot to floppy and run fdisk/mbr. Your operating system or another program has corrupted your boot sector. note if you can't boot to floppy change your cmos
so it will only boot to floppy disabling all
other choices including boot to other device. Once you have fixed your boot sector don't forget to go to cmos and change back your boot to selections.

The boot sequence doesn't reach the boot from the floppy.
Someone has an idea?
Thanks

If it doesn't reach floppy boot Try changing the boot sequence from c,a to a,c. This worked for me to boot off a floppy but running fdisk didn't seem to make a difference. I'll try again tonight.

We switched the hard drive to a known good hard drive and didn't get this error. Windows booted, after installing the new hard drive. Therefore, we recommended a new hard drive to the owner.

Try disableing internal and external cpu cache in the bios then when your computer boots it should say
Verifying dmi pool data......Update success
(or somthing like that)

Then restart and re-enable the cpu cache. Then wgen it boots you should get the same message and it should continue to boot normally.

I did this over the weekend and it worked for me.

I try disabeling internal cache, and then success, but after the test my compter not reponse. I don't know whats happening.

Thanks

well i know for a fact that its not the hd even though it seemed to fix it for about 3 weeks . i think kent is right as far as a program being loaded on after the os if anyone would like to email me and we can compare programs and maybe figure this waiting c out. beez667@aol.com

I just had a similar problem when building a new system (P4, 8IE Gigabyte Mobo, WD HD).

The difference for me was that I could not get to the Dos prompt when initially placing a boot disk into the floppy. It ALWAYS hung on verifying dmi pool data.

For me, it was the Hard Drive. Unfortunately, I troubleshot just about everything prior to that.

But, I finally grabbed an older, known good HD, and tested it successfully. I was able to fix my problem by simply reinstalling the HD (original problem must have been a cable connection one, I guess.)

hello,
well,i got the same problem and every time i start my PC the red light which seem it do some processing is on all the time,but one time i could boot when that light turns off,but in the later tims i couldn't boot because the light was on all the time.
(so is it from the boot sectors or the HD)
thank u ALL

I was having an unrealted problem with my hard drive so I bought a new one. I tried to install windows 2000 pro onto this one. I was able to copy to the drive. A message then told me to reboot, (make sure there isn't a floppy in the drive) and windows setup would continue at the startup. It has frozen at verifying dmi pool data. When I find an answer, (short of buying a new computer) I will share it. For now.... I keep searching for one.

I get this verifying DMI pool data message, but computer boots up fine when I hit reset button. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am having the same problem on DMI Pool Data Boot Failure. I have been troubleshooting all day. I put in new hard drive and did a fresh install. The computer worked fine for a day. While installing new programs the computer just shut itself off. Back to DMI Pool Data Boot Failure. I am ready to chuck the thing against the wall but it is my girlfriends. Could the error be coming from the cpu or motherboard? Help would be greatly appreciated.

My pc is having the same probs. Verifying DMI Boot Data ..... Update Sussessful..... and then freezes.... I have tried to change HD's and have tried to play with setup bios... and have loaded Default Bios and Setup .... and still everytime i come to that screen I freeze.... I need help.... Please.....

Check to see if all your hardware is compatable. On occasion sound or video card drivers could cause issues like this...
Microsoft website has a HCL (Hardware Compatability List) and there you can see if your system components will work together and with the OS you are trying to load.

OK check this site out also...
