Stuck on Verifying DMI Pool Data in Windows 2000 System: Solutions for Boot-up Hang Issue

How can I fix a Windows 2000 PC that freezes at "Verifying DMI Pool Data" during boot even when the disk and drives are disconnected?

Fix the BIOS/DMI data first, because this hang is usually caused by BIOS settings or corrupted BIOS data rather than Windows 2000 itself. Try clearing the BIOS by removing the battery or shorting the reset pins, then set the correct time and date again; one user reported that this alone made the machine boot normally [#2413063] [#16481549] If your BIOS has an option like "RESET DMI DATA," enable it so it can rebuild the DMI pool and continue booting [#2416300] You can also try moving PCI cards to other slots or booting with all cards removed, since that can force DMI reinitialization [#2416300] If the problem persists, the BIOS may be corrupted or the chip itself may be faulty, so reflash the BIOS or replace the BIOS chip with one programmed with the same BIOS [#2416080] [#2416300]

    Verifying DMI Pool Data is the last thing displayed on the computer and nothing goes further. Win 2000 system what to do? it is the same without the difference whether I disconnect the disk and drive. Only once in 1000 is it turned on. I thought it was hard, but when I disconnect it, it stops in the same place.
    Thank you

    did it do the same, or for some reason? you can renew mbr, boot from boot floppy and type fdisk / mbr, you can also set bios to optimal settings, here you have some explanation options: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000474.htm, best regards

    You tried to reset the bios settings (you can remove the battery and short-circuit the battery terminals or wait a few minutes) or if it is more resistant then the two pins on the board are shorted, but you must read it from the manual

    I reset the bios
    there is no booting from floppy disk
    so there is no way to repair mbr
    the same thing happens all the time when I disconnect individual disks and drives
    the default bios settings also do not give anything
    Best regards and thank you for your interest

    Remove all cards and try it, but I also have one and either the BIOS or the chipset is damaged.

    Buddy, see how much dust you have in the computer, set up booting from the disc and only a cd connect to one idea and then to the other, maybe something goes wrong, check if the disc does not touch the housing anywhere, remove and insert the memory of the frame into other slots ?? I will answer what you have done, I will continue my best regards

    I blown the disc right away.
    I pulled out everything I could and put the graphics in the ram mod
    I disconnected the disc and cd and drive and tried different combinations
    reset and factory settings of the bios did nothing
    I always stop in the same place, regardless of whether it has a CD drive attached or nothing attached. the change of tapes did not help either.
    in my opinion it is an album - I will check it out yet
    thanks for showing interest

    how is this album, somehow I can not find the only markings:
    SST - 5870AP ATX Via694 ATA 100
    and not every time the board fires up the monitor
    and the light from fdd is on
    but it's probably not important
    greetings

    Ok to upload the bios but how?
    I've never done this, I wouldn't want to screw something up
    I know you need a applet and ups.
    If someone has patience with me and willingness to ask for some tips.
    Thank you

    Sometimes it helps to set the BIOS RESET DMI DATA option or similar. Then it should write Building DMI Pool Data and move on.
    You can also replace the cards with PCI in places or put in another PCI slot which will have a similar effect.

    However, most likely you have a corrupted bios bone in the DMI data write area. From my practice, I then exchange the bone for another and enter the same bios into it.

    Hello.

    I'll refresh the topic, sorry :)
    I was struggling with it all day and the solution was simple.
    After resetting the BIOS (removing the battery), it was enough to correctly set the time and date in the BIOS.
    Everything is flashing now.
    I kept popping up this message, I couldn't fire up the flash drive, system, etc.

    Regards.
