Now it's installed but it doesn't boot :(

It says Fedora will now reboot and complete the installation. So it goes to reboot then it just stops booting and stays continuously on the "Verifying DMI Pool Data..." part.

Is it possible the hard drive has a bad boot sector or is it more likely something else?

Yay Linux! Somehow my sound doesn't work in Windows anymore and I can't even boot Linux to see if it works there because NO ONE WILL HELP ME! Oh well I will figure it out myself.

The first hit on google leads to this site with 8 things to try if you get the "DMI Pool Data" message:

Here's a bunch of google results all about that message:
