Straight Out Of The Box...."Verifying DMI Pool Data"
*waves to everyone*
lol it's been awhile
So lets get down to the issues....
Brand new HP computer running Vista works perfectly yesterday. Today, "Verifying DMI Pool Data" (with a disk read error) at start up and nothing else. Only thing that has changed is installing the internet, which worked up until now....
I pretty much know it's a hardware issue...but to avoid sending a computer straight out of the box back to HP. I was wondering if it would be possible to create recovery disks from a different computer with vista and use it on this one?

I found this link; it may help. Not sure about the feasability of the recovery disks?

Put the recovery disks in, said it wouldn't work...restarted it, and boom, it started rebuilding the hard-drive...
*mutters something about vista being strange*
It didn't even tell me it was going to wipe it. Just..."Configuring Updates" and done.
