Stuck here:"Verifying DMI Pool Data"

Hi All,The computer I am working on is my daughters and was so plagued with viruses and mismatched software that I had to wipe it out and start fresh.
The computer is an Acer, Apsire T180 with windows xp media center edition 2006 on it. It has 2-512 ram and a 250gig harddrive. So I pulled the harddrive and formatted it and put it back in and started the long install of her original os disks (7 of them) and it completely installed and I started the updates (82 of them wow) and after the restart it just wasn't working correctly with a few problems so I again pulled the harddrive and formatted it and put it back but this time I can't get the disks to run at all. I just get the black screen saying Verifying DMI Pool Data with a blinking curser and can't get anywhere at all from here. I can get into the bios and made sure it's set to start at the cd first- no joy then tried clearing the cmos and removing all plugs and extra expansion cards and pulling the cmos battery for over an hour and still I'm stuck. I went back into the bios and set all to defaults except for the correct day and time and tried again-no joy. I have been trying all the posts things from previous threads and still can't get past that darn screen it won't even let me run the ubcd. I don't know what else to try? Any and all ideas are greatly welcome. Thanks Puzzlez
