   A guy over at rec.crafts.metalworking suggested I post this question 
here ...

My T510 died , I installed a new motherboard . The new board is missing 
some info , I get 2 error messages on power up:

  2200 type and serial number invalid

  2201 UUID invalid

   Both fields are blank .

  It also goes blue screen within a couple of minutes of Windows 
starting up and I wonder if it's connected to the missing info . I'm 
running 64 bit Win 7 Pro . I did a little digging , it looks like the 
only way to correct the missing info is via a floppy disc , so I ordered 
one and a couple of discs . Apparently this programming lets me burn a 
bootable optical disc or use the USB floppy drive to boot .
   If I have to I can wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything . 
Another learning opportunity !
