DMI pool data

Verifying DMI Pool Data

Desktop Management Interface (DMI) is a method for managing computers in an
organization. The main component, Management Information Format Database
(MIFD), is a database that contains all the information about the local
computer and its components. This issue can be caused by any of the
following:

1. Connections loose or disconnected:
If the computer has been recently moved or new hardware has been installed
in the computer it is possible that a connection may be loose or even
disconnected. Verify that the hard disk drive, floppy and CD-ROM cables are
properly connected.

2. Settings for hard disk drive are not correct:
The computer freezing at "verifying dmi pool data..". may be caused when the
hard disk drive settings within CMOS are not set properly. Enter CMOS and
verify that the hard disk drive settings are set properly and/or that it is
set to Auto Detect.

3. Boot devices not set properly:

The computer stopping at " verifying dmi pool data..." can be caused when
the boot devices on your computer are not set properly in CMOS. First,
verify that no CD or diskette is in your computer. If a CD or diskette is in
the computer attempt to remove this first to determine if it was attempting
to boot from it.

If No CD or diskette is in the computer and your computer still halts at the
DMI message enter CMOS and verify that the boot options are set properly.
Commonly recommended is that the floppy be set the first boot device, hard
drive as the second boot device and the CD-ROM as the third boot device.

4. BIOS corrupt or miscellaneous setting not set properly:

If none of the above recommendations have resolved your issue attempt to
BIOS corrupt or miscellaneous setting not set properly. reset the BIOS /
CMOS settings to the factory or default settings.

5. Corrupt boot files on the computer:

If the computer has no bootable files on the drive it is attempting to boot
from it is possible that the computer may halt at " verifying dmi pool
data...".

Boot from a bootable floppy diskette. Ensure that this diskette was made on
the same Microsoft Windows operating system that is installed on your
computer. Once at the A:\> prompt type "sys c:" and press enter. This should
report the message "File system transferred". Once transferred remove the
diskette and reboot the computer. If the computer continues to not boot
attempt to re-create the master boot record by booting from the bootable
floppy diskette again. Once at the A:\> prompt type "fdisk /mbr" and press
enter. This should return you to the prompt without giving you any message.
Once at the prompt remove the
diskette and reboot the computer.

Note: The above information only applies to Microsoft Windows users. If you
are running a Linux / UNIX variant or other operating system such as OS/2
and the computer is freezing at this DMI message ensure that Linux / UNIX
has been properly installed first and/or your boot manger is not corrupt.

6. Bad hard disk drive or other bad hardware:

If you computer continues to freeze at the DMI message after attempting all
of the above recommendations it is possible that the computer may be
freezing because of a bad hard disk drive or other bad hardware in the
computer. Before replacing any hardware first you should attempt to fdisk,
delete the partition, re-create the partition and reinstall your computer
operating system.

Odklopis ves HW in probavas brez vsega.... in potem pocasi dodaja hardware...

Zacnes pa tako, da najprej disk zamenjas in z drugim probas...

Torej bo treba zamenjati plati ali napajalnik.
