I know that is a nasty message from the system.

I tried "sys c:" no success
I tried "fddisk /mbr" no success as well
any suggestion will be very welcome...


Verifying DMI Pool Data
 
Hi, Manuel.

Why do you think that is "a nasty message"? "Verifying DMI Pool Data" is
quite normal; healthy computers often display this as a part of the boot-up
process - BEFORE beginning to load Windows. So, if there is a problem at
all, it is in the computer hardware or BIOS, not in Windows.

Why would you try either "sys" or "fdisk" on a Win2K system? Those are both
MS-DOS commands, which is not a part of Win2K.

What is your actual problem? Does your computer hang with this message
onscreen?

Are you running Win2K? What kind of computer are you running?

Thank you very much for replying to my message. That box
just hang with that message. The OS on it is W2k and I
went to different website suggesting to do sys c: or
fdisk /mbr but no success.

Hi, Manuel.

Sys C: will replace your Win2K boot sector with the MS-DOS/Win9x/ME-style
boot sector. You will then be unable to boot into Win2K. And, if your
Drive C: is formatted NTFS, the command won't work, because MS-DOS can't
write to an NTFS volume.

FDISK also is an MS-DOS program. It MIGHT work. But a better tool is to
boot from the Win2K CD-ROM and use the Recovery Console to do whatever needs
to be done to your hard drive.

But, as I said, the DMI message happens BEFORE WINDOWS EVEN STARTS TO LOAD!!
It's NOT a Windows problem. The problem is in your computer hardware, not
software.
