I have a friend who used disk wipe (Full erase) for his C: drive and apparently, after wiping, the drive cannot be formatted(which is suppose to be already formatted).
Now, after restarting, it says " Verifying DMI pool data" everytime it opens.
Any idea what to do. He cannot start in safe mode anyway.
Blogspot lists many reasons for this.

A disk wipe with what, CCleaner??
As for "cannot be formatted" you cannot format a hard drive from the same hard drive that contains the Operating System.
Now, after restarting, it says " Verifying DMI pool data" every time it opens.
"Verifying DMI pool data" is a BIOS message C drive would appear to be corrupted or contains no Operating System without this you're stuck at the Power On Self Test (POST) screen.
Could you explain why your friend performed a drive wipe and attempted to format his C drive as well??
Is your friend is trying to re-install his Operating System, if it's XP is his hard drive SATA or IDE??
