      From: muratlanne@gmail.com              "Snag" wrote in message news:v7u38q$2crek$1@dont-email.me...               My Lenovo laptop died recently , so I purchased and installed a new       motherboard . The problem is this new board is lacking a uuid number ,       and has no entry for computer type and serial number . Pops up a "2200 -       type and serial number invalid" and a "2201 - uuid invalid" error       messages . Both fields are blank .        Turns out I'll have to jump a through few hoops to correct these       problems - the only way is via a 3.5" floppy disc ! It ran fine for an       hour or two , then started blue screening . I'm wondering if the blue       screen is because of the missing entries ...        There's a new usb floppy drive and some discs for it on the way ...       --       Snag        Illegitimi non carborundum       ---------------------------------------------       This lets a thumb drive substitute for a floppy:       https://www.handheldgroup.com/knowledge-base/create-a-bootable-usb-drive/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
