      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 ...
