Hey friends!
I have a P200 that was working fine with a few defective clusters, but nothing serious.
While converting an MP3 to wav, Windows told me that my hard drive is full.
So, I stopped everything and turned it off.
When I turned it back on the next day, it got stuck after the line "Verifying DMI pool data," meaning that I can't even boot with a floppy disk!
It sucks.
So, is it due to my hard drive?
I don't think so. I haven't tried to clear some space yet.
Has my processor fried? How can I tell?
Or is it my motherboard?
Is it due to thermal shock since it’s under a skylight?
Another thing I did was delete the icon (actually, Windows 98 told me it’s a program) “Working with MSN.”
Does that have anything to do with it?
That would be really surprising.
At first, it displayed "Verifying..." with the two dots following it;
in this case, I could hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart it.
Now, when I turn it on hoping it doesn't freeze again, it shows the 5 dots and the cursor is blinking correctly.
However, the keyboard is no longer recognized since I can’t restart it with it.
Honestly, I don't understand anything. I'm fed up.
I haven't done a CMOS clear because I don't know where the jumper is since the battery looks pretty weird (a black rectangular block apparently soldered to the motherboard).
Same for the Award chip; there's no sticker on it or "Award" written on it. And I’ve never seen one like that: it’s a flat chip in a brown socket that surrounds the entire chip. I think that must be it; I haven't seen anything else.
So, if I'm right, I need to remove it, wait a few seconds, then put it back to reset all the BIOS, right?
I don’t really need to write down the current BIOS information on a piece of paper?
Can someone help me?
If you need more information, feel free to ask.
I'm in Caen (14), if there’s anyone from around here.
Bye and thanks.

I'm in agreement with Virginie, you have the same problem as her...
Here, I'll copy what I sent her... it's a bit long, but maybe it will help.
Presentation:
The Desktop Management Interface (DMI) is a new method for managing
computers within a company. The main component of the DMI is the Management
Information Format Database, or MIFD (the DMI Pool Data).
This database contains all the information regarding the computer and
its components.
Sometimes, some systems may experience operational shutdowns
after partitioning, formatting, or initial startup of a hard drive. The message, "Verifying DMI Pool Data"
appears and the system halts. This problem can persist even after the hard drive has been removed (sic).
! WARNING ! ALL SUGGESTIONS LISTED IN THIS INFORMATION BULLETIN RELATE TO THE BIOS.
FOR A PERMANENT SOLUTION, MAXTOR RECOMMENDS THAT USERS CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER OF THEIR
SYSTEM OR MOTHERBOARD FOR A BIOS UPDATE.
Suggestions for resolving the issue:
Disconnect the hard drive (IDE cable and power cord)
Start the computer.
Access the BIOS.
Select the disk type to None or Not Installed.
Load BIOS Defaults
Load SETUP Defaults
Save BIOS changes (SAVE AND EXIT SETUP) and
restart the PC with a system boot disk.
Shut down the PC after the memory count has completed.
Reconnect the power cord and the IDE cable to the hard drive.
Start the computer.
Access the BIOS.
Auto-detect the hard drive. Ensure that LBA Mode is enabled.
Save BIOS changes (SAVE AND EXIT SETUP) and
restart the PC.
On startup, the screen should read:
"Verifying DMI Pool Data
Update Successful"
The system should continue to boot normally.
Other possible solutions:
Start the PC.
Access the BIOS.
Disable the internal and external CPU caches. These options are found either
in "BIOS Features" or in "Advanced Settings" in the BIOS menu.
NOTE: refer to the Motherboard manual to locate the exact location of the options for
the internal and external CPU cache.
Save BIOS changes (SAVE AND EXIT SETUP) and
restart the PC.
On startup, the screen should read:
"Verifying DMI Pool Data
Update Successful"
The system should continue to boot normally.
After the system has restarted, reboot the PC and access the BIOS.
Reactivate the External and Internal caches.
Save BIOS changes (SAVE AND EXIT SETUP) and
restart the PC.
On startup, the screen should read:
"Verifying DMI Pool Data
Update Successful"
The system should continue to boot normally.
NOTE: if the previous suggestions fail to resolve the issue,
contact the system or motherboard manufacturer for:
removing the "Clear CMOS" jumper and resetting the system BIOS
obtaining a flashing BIOS update

Hi for the verifying problem.... there is a very simple solution you
just need to open your PC and clean it (with a clean brush and a vacuum) preferably all your PC (but if you only clean what is close to the processor it will be fine) and you wait several hours when you turn on your PC everything will be fine

Salut, j'ai aussi le même problème, le message et puis plus rien. J'ai essayé avec la disquette de redémarrage et le CD et ça ne donne toujours rien. Merci de m'aider.
Hi everyone
I just read this post and the problem seems close to mine or complementary...
Let me explain my problem a bit:
A friend gave me his HP Pavilion PC (Celeron 300) with Windows 98
to upgrade it with a new motherboard (Gigabyte), a new slightly more powerful processor (AMD 756), and a second hard drive.
After the modification, a first successful boot except for a few unrecognized peripherals (video card - sound card - and PCI bridge) and a screen in 16 colors (almost normal lol)
I go online with my own PC to find the missing drivers (the PCI bridge is not easy to find and according to several forums on various sites, a motherboard update is necessary)
Installed the drivers for the sound card, reboot..... it's okay
Installed the drivers for the video card, reboot.... everything is okay (finally a nice image)
And to finish the flashing, reboot..... and damn nothing works anymore.
Thinking I messed up the flashing and ruined the card (sweat drop included), I still uninstall the hard drive (with Windows 98 OEM HP) to try with the new one (formatting, partitioning, okay, temporary installation of my Windows XP, and booting.
And everything seems to work (all the peripherals are recognized), I deduce that the flashing is okay and that it's the hard drive or the OS that took a hit.
I reconnect the other HDD with Windows 98 as secondary, plug it back in, power it on, and I boot from it (just to see just in case..) still nothing (loading in safe mode and black screen after a few seconds) I reboot again on the new one with XP and everything is perfect.
Out of curiosity, I check the secondary under XP and everything is there.
I don't get it, why won't it boot
If anyone has an idea or a tip for a proper boot from this HDD with Windows 98,
Thanks in advance
PS: I know it's a bit of a novel but it deserved precise explanations lol

Wow, my three-year-old message! I remember it as if it were yesterday.
Hi.
I don't think I have the solution since it's not the same issue, apparently, if you're able to boot in safe mode.
In my opinion, you have a driver problem.
At worst, it's your Win98 that's faulty or the clusters on your hard drive.
I solved my problem through the BIOS.
Second line...well, you need to find "Reconfiguration reset data" or something like that. It was set to "disable." I switched it to "Auto." Save and then reboot.
And there you go. The DMI has been updated.
No need to go back into the BIOS, "Reconfiguration reset data" deactivates itself after booting.
As for your issue, I recommend:
- either scan your hard drive
- or reinstall Win98
- or perform a low-level format using a utility from the manufacturer (which zeros everything out and isolates defective sectors) for a truly clean install
Hoping this helps you, bye.

Hello
my laptop that I bought in January
of this year has frozen, so I restarted it using the
'reset' button, and when it restarted it is stuck
on a black screen with 'verifying DMI pool data........
Update success'
Safe mode doesn't work, it gets stuck
on loading a driver. I've tried to reinstall using
the recovery DVD I created and through the default
factory settings (ALT F10). This reinstalled the
factory settings but when the installation was finished,
it asked for a restart and the same problem occurs... it does the same thing again.
And now I can't even access the F8 window (
safe mode), I don't know what to do, I urgently need
my laptop, especially since I'm going abroad in 3 weeks to see my girlfriend :'(:'( and I need to talk to her using my laptop :'(
my laptop is an Acer.

I didn't read everything
too long and besides I'm eating
but you know, when a hard drive has defective clusters, it's rare that it only settles for a few clusters and it gradually eats away.

Hi, I’m in the same predicament with the message "verifying DMI pool data". My HDD is a Maxtor, and I’m using XP Pro as the OS... Well, four days ago I had the "disk boot failure" message and I fixed it by setting all the buses to auto... we were able to recognize the HDD and the CD drive, but then the message "verifying DMI pool data" came up and you know what... nothing! I've tried disabling the caches, of course the "update success" message appears, but I still can't access the system, not even boot from the CD drive!
Please help! Because on top of that... you know what... I have a blank street in my head!

Dear douceflam, the answer is in message 6 before yours, actually.
Didn't you read it? That's not good because the site encourages this, they marked it in red!
There's a problem with the BIOS, when you turn on your computer, but I don't know how you access it under WinXP.
So, you need to find the right option to reset your DMI and it will be done.
Why did you get this message, by the way? Change of hard drive? Addition? Hard drive full (that was my case)?
Good luck with the repair.

Hello everyone! A BIG THANK YOU to DarkLoran because thanks to you I fixed the issue and you saved me from getting yelled at (3rd time I've bugged my computer) =) Thanks again!!
So, here it is, I'm presenting my problem which happens to be the same as yours, namely that...
I read darkloran's post, and it seemed good to me, I tried his first suggestion, and I really can't do it =S
Otherwise, his second post seemed simpler so I tried it, I did as darkloran described, I went into my setups, I changed my L1 and L2 caches from enabled to disabled, then I saved and quit, and once this was done, it says: Verifying FMI pool data .......... Update Success and there it is exactly the same thing, apart from the Update Success that gets added... It didn't reboot at all =S
So I switched it back to Enabled, and there, same old story.
I tried booting with the Windows XP CD, and it says: Verifying DMI pool data.......
It's as if it hadn't noticed the CD -_-'
If anyone could help me, that would be really great because I'm quite annoyed that I can't find the right solution...
Thanks in advance

Ah yes, I forgot the solution that Darkloran proposes works, but if you take too long to reactivate the CPU, the processor can burn out.
Hello everyone, I have the same problem as you.
Let me explain, I bought an external hard drive on Friday, once home it worked on the PC but not on my TV or my PS3, so I went back to the store and they told me I need to convert it blablabla (he explained it so well that I searched for it myself afterward) so it was in NFYST (I don’t remember if that's the right letters) and I had to change it to FAT32. I searched and searched and searched.. no way to change it to FAT, every time I only had the NFYST option... (I have an Acer with Vista on it) so I kept looking and I came across a converter if I remember correctly it was Fatformat...
I started it and then my PC froze and I got the message Verifying DMI Pool data.....
And now I can't do anything??
Help Help Help friends... :(:(:(

my computer is an Acer
and I can’t open the case otherwise my warranty will be void because there are security stickers on the back of the case that would rip off if I opened it
I haven't been sleeping because of this
I don’t know what to do.
