After restoring to a new HDD, my boot process sticks on "Verifying DMI Pool Data". What can I do ?

DMI or Desktop Management Interface is a layer of abstraction between system components and the software that manages them. The System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) is an extension of the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) that formulates and delivers this information to the operating system. The pool data is the information that is to be delivered.

In short, when the BIOS is "Verifying DMI Pool Data" it is verifying the table of component data it sends to the operating system (Windows, etc.). If DMI verification is not sucessful, it may return an error or the system may just hang at that point. For some possible causes and fixes see http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000474.htm .
