My father has a Gigabye k8VT800(PRO) motherboard,a 3200+(754Pin) processor, a Geforce 5200, 512 MB of ram, and a 120 gig SATA HDD.

Here is the problem. His HDD is no longer detected by his computer. When he boots his comp up, he gets some error saying "No HPA Enabled Drive." Othertimes, he gets an error saying "Verifying DMI Pool Data."

The HDD is properly installed and doesn't appear to be damaged in any way. It spins when the computer is turned on, on the outside, it seems fine. I'm not sure what to make of this error, perhaps someone could help me out here?
 
Did he change anything?

Check all the connections, if you haven't already.

Verifying DMI pool data isn't a problem, normally. But since it's stuck there apparently, it is.

The same happened to me when I failed on a Linux install and the bootloader was messed up.

Maybe you should get a Windows boot disk and try:

No idea if it'll work, but worth a try.
