Unfortunately, after i connect the cable to try to boot......the PC stuck at "verifying dmi pool data" stage.....and could not get out of it. I cant even reach to select the device to boot from.


How do i resolve this? I have the gigabyte 78GMP-DS2H mother board and 2 other 1 TB hard drive in the system.


I think it has to be do with the format of the disk drive (done from my Media player) not being understood by my PC. But i cant think of a way to get this dirive to work from my PC.


Any suggestion would be appreciated.....

Can you get to the bios setup? If so, you may need to change your boot sequence. A lot of times when you put a new drive in your system, the bios may list it as your boot drive.


To format the drive, I like Partition Wizard which works great and is easy to use from either Windows or a boot disc. It's free and you can get it at PC World or CNet downloads.[/QUOT



Thank you both for replying, are these software runs in BIOS? I can set boot priority like cd rom, usb cd rom, and then hard drive........i cant select which harddrive though.........how do i install these software?



thanks
