PC freezes at "Verifying DMI Pool Data"

Hi,

I have XP installed in my PC.I tried to install Windows 7 by mounting the Windows 7 image as virtual drive.After copying the files the PC reboots.After this reboot my PC is stuck at "Verifying DMI Pool Data".Nothing happens after that.Then I installed my XP again. Please give me a solution to this problem.

It stops there because that is the point where it's trying to find the install disc. You'll need to burn your image to disc in order to install it, installing it from a virtual drive won't suffice because that drive won't exist upon reboot.

i have the same problem also..
but i installed it on a burned dvd..

I have a similar problem but tried to upgrade from vista home premium using a virtual drive. I have an acer aspire m5100 and when I ran the compatibility thing beforehand and it said the ide controller may not work...which I guess is the hard drive?

I tried to boot windows 7 install from a flash drive (it still says Verifying dmi pool data then runs the install from usb). Tried to install but it said it has already started and to start normally then insert the installation disk. Dont think theres a way to do that...and the startup repair didnt show any problems either. But I read this could be a bios problem? Should I update my bios? If so how do you do that from usb?

If you are going to try and use a USB stick then make sure the BIOS is configured to have legacy USB hardware support enabled, and the USB device in question is selected as you primary boot drive. Those would be my best guesses, hope it helps.

I tried reformatting to Windows 7, everything went smooth until I tried to start up my computer. It stoped at "verifying dmi pool data". I read a few forums that told me to take my windows 7 disk out of cd drive and do a reboot; after the reboot, NOTHING shows up on my monitor!
This is what I do:
Start computer up
Monitor screen stays black and the power light stays orange as if it were "asleep".
Shaking mouse or pressing keys on keyboard does not help
If I unplug monitor from tower, the monitor light turns green, and the "dell logo" appear
I have a gaming graphics card, nothing changes if i plug monitor into the default slot

So basically It wont reformat, it wont let me get into the bios, IT WONT DISPLAY ANYTHING!!! UGH!
The computer is a fairly new Acer M5100.
Any Ideas?

Hi,normaly the VERIFYNG DMI POOL DATA is something relatieve to motherboard BIOS, if you can update your motherboard bios just do it,because i've similar problem a few months ago and i solved my problem updating my bios,but with you i don't know for sure,so if you can do it,you're the boss,good luck.

So if I understand this, now nothing shows on the monitor at all? When you start the computer do the fans continue to spin? Have you tried completely powering the machine off and disconnecting it from the wall for 10 minutes, before trying to boot it again?

If still no luck, remove all connected devices such as memory card readers, USB devices, etc.

Hello there, and welcome to the forums.
I would suggest doing several things...
Turn the PC off, and hold down the power button for 30secs! It will turn on and turn off again - thats ok. This removes any static on the motherboard or the components.
If that doesn't work check the RAM is fitted in properly (remember to anti-static yourself before you do this, as you can short-circuit the PC)
If this doesn't work, back track, - did you do anything with the components inside, did you fiddle with anything, cables?
If these don't work then almost certainly you have blown the motherboard, or power supply.

Was it the RC you installed?
