verifying dmi pool data boot from cd dvd disk boot failure.

verifying dmi pool data boot from cd dvd disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter
ok i know you get asked this alot but i would like to know why this is happening...
like two weeks ago every now and then my computer would do this and then it would do it more.... until it kept showing up everytime my computer was turned on
now i diddent even touch the bios or boot settings this just started happening out of the blue.....
i dont know anything about bios or boot settings please give me step by step on how to fix this problem
thanx in advance

and ive read the other posts but there not working for me

 

ewiw:

In short, when the BIOS is "Verifying DMI pool data" it is verifying the table of data it sends to the operating system (Windows, etc.). If it isn't sucessful, it should return an error. Wait a reasonable period of time for it to finish. It may make take some time.

Do you get a error when this happens ?

 

verifying dmi pool data.... (wait like 2 min)
boot from cd/dvd
disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter

ok then i press enter but nothing happens

so yes this is the error

i have no idea how to fix it can you please tell me?

 

Have you checked to see if you have a CD/DVD Disk in the Drive ?

If you have a non-bootable CD/DVD in a CD/DVD drive you will get this error.

 

i made sure there is no cd/dvd in the drive that was one of the first things i checked

 

Here is a web site on how to access the BIOS:
How to access your BIOS:

Also - If you have any FlashDrive or External USB Drive plugged into any USB Slot - Unplug them and see if the
error goes away.

 

ok i took my usb out now it works but im going to see if its luck or its actully the usb that prevents it from booting up

 

ummmm....

sorry but now its not working when i turn the computer on the screen stays black for like 2 min then you start seeing the letters which is normal but im getting that verifying pool data still please help

 

Three things spring to mind.

1) Your CMOS battery is failing, try replacing it.
2) Your DVD/CD drive is faulty, Verify that your first boot device is your Hard Drive. Test by disconnecting the DVD/CD drive.
3) Your Hard Drive is failing/has failed.

Hopefully it's 1) only cents to replace but others may post further suggestions.

 

OMG i dont know anything about dissconnecting a cd/dvd drive
if my harddrive is failing thats not a problem really as long as my motherboard is ok and my processor im ok cause they are what cost alot XP

and how do i dissconnect a cd/dvd drive?

 

Open your case and behind the DVD drive you'll see a Molex power connector (see below). Just unplug it (it may take some effort but grip the plastic do not pull the wire )

I'm still thinking it's the battery though, click on this link for info to replace it (these batteries usually have a lifespan of 3 - 5 years).

 

well if its the cd/drive i dont care cause i alway download my games frome steam
but if its the battery i need someone to help me with that ill ask someone

 

Probably best, it's a simple procedure but if you're at all wary of messing about inside your computer it is better to get assistance.

Let us know how things go.

 

so you dont think its a software issue?

 

I'm certain it's not a software issue, The error you are recieving is from the BIOS well before windows (or any OS) even attempts to start. The only software issue is your computer can't locate an OS to boot from.

 

well i talked to someone they said i should try and format my hardrive if that doesent work then i am going to see what part of my comp is faulty

 

Sounds like a normal fix-all from support personell that in this case probably won't work. Your choice though.

 

well it turns out to be that the hard drive is faulty thanks for your help

 

No problem, sorry it didn't turn out better.

You may wish to mark this thread as resolved though.
