Hi,

I have XP installed in my PC.I tried to install Windows 7 by mounting the Windows 7 image as virtual drive.After copying the files the PC reboots.After this reboot my PC is stuck at "Verifying DMI Pool Data".Nothing happens after that.Then I installed my XP again. Please give me a solution to this problem.

Burn the image onto a DVD and then try to install it. When you reboot, the image is no longer mounted on the virtual drive.

But it must have copied the necessary setup files before reboot.
After the first reboot usually the PC wont boot into DVD,it will go to the installer rite?

I think problem is with your cd drive, it is not taking data at certain tracks. So try to have other cd or just make your own Windows 7 pen drive installation....If you want to know how to make the rescue windows 7 installation with pen drive, here is the link
