Bekend probleem, heb ik ook es gehad. De oplossing staat (oa) op de Maxtor site, alhoewel het niet Maxtor-related is.
Let op:
The message, "Verifying DMI Pool Data" appears and the system hangs.
Description
The Desktop Management Interface (DMI) is a new method of managing computers in an enterprise. The main component of DMI is the Management Information Format Database, or MIFD (the DMI Pool Data). This database contains all the information about the computing system and its components.
At times, some systems may experience hang conditions after partitioning, formatting and initial bootup of a hard drive. The message, "Verifying DMI Pool Data" appears and the system hangs. This condition may continue after the drive has been removed.
