Stuck a Verifying DMI Pool Data.

I recently ordered a new computer. I am building it myself. I put everything together correctly. I then proceeded to install windows XP via CD. It configured, and then asked if I wanted to exit setup, or install XP fully. I have a SATA Hard drive, and I forgot to install the drivers that came with the motherboard for it. So I decided to exit, and install the SATA drivers through another setup.

But now, everytime I turn on the computer, it stays at the "verifying DMI Pool Data" screen. I tried everything I could think of through BIOS and it still did not fix anything. Does anyone know how to fix this, or have any ideas that might help?

Specs are:

MSI K8N Neo Platiumn Motherboard
Mushkin 3200 Level One RAM
Seagate 120GB 7200.7 Barracuda
Athlon 64 3200+ processor
x800Pro video card
Audigy 2 ZS sound card
Antec 420W PS
NEC DVD R/RW CD R/RW

Thanks in advance
