SacredTxd Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redhawk Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 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). 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?? Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
