Verifying DMI pool data stuck

You have to apply

then when it says active, sytem & boot . It is done.

Then close the program and restart.

Mine is on different partitions - it is in the status column.

Yours should say active,system & boot on the one partition.

Okay, I just closed it and it restarted automatically. It booted up past the DMI verifying but now I got this: http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...1113090150.jpg
At the bottom it says press enter to continue or press ESC to exit.

I'm not sure if I saw the SYSTEM & BOOT cuz the resolution sucked and I forgot to scroll to the side to make sure.

You need to run startup repair from the 7 dvd . Might take 3 runs.

If you don't have one - d/l the 7 system repair disc from here: get the right bit version - the same as you have installed.

Download Windows 7 System Recovery Discs — The NeoSmart Files

Okay, I put in the CD with that ISO on it. I already got it cuz Avast told me to do it several hours ago. I'm back at the error screen. Should I press ENTER to continue or restart and boot with the CD?

Boot the 7 cd - run startup repair up to3 times.

Doing it right now. Sigh.. can't believe all this trouble came from just forgetting one step - allocating partitioned space.

I ran it once and it said it fixed a problem with booting up and said to restart. I did and now my log in screen loaded up! I think it's finally fixed.

Are you in now?

Yeah. Even got FireFox up. I didn't have to do this step: http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...112092302a.jpg

But oh well, it's working!! :)

I'm scared to attempt to partition and allocate space to have dual boot up with XP now. This experience has like scarred me haha.
