Stuck at “Verifying DMI Pool Data” After switching HDDs
. Hello, recently my old hard drive died on me (Didn't have any important data luckily) and I got a new WD Caviar Blue 320GB 7200RPM drive. Unfortunately when I plug it and an 8GB USB 2.0 drive into my system I am unable to boot into the Windows 10 installer, I just get stuck at Verifying DMI Pool Data.
When I remove the USB drive (which is the same drive I use daily and used to install Windows on a friends PC a few weeks back) the system boots into a black screen and stays there indefinitely, I think this is just because the new HDD is empty but wouldn't it tell me that there were no files to boot from?
Why would this happen? Could a DOA drive cause this?
I have tried:
- Booting with only the USB drive to see if I could just get to the Windows Installer, but no, I get stuck at Verifying DMI Pool Data
again.
- Clearing the CMOS by removing the battery from the motherboard
- Made sure all HDD cables are connected well
- Used different USB drives and SD cards with USB adapters to install windows from.
PC Specs:
CPU: C2D E8400 2.93GHZ
GPU: GT 710 1GB GDDR5
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2C
RAM: 4GB DDR2 667MHZ
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 320GB (WD3200AAKS)
PSU: 450W

There may be a problem with the master boot record of the hard disk, try to repair the master boot record mbr. Or try to use the CD to install the system, there should be no such problem.
