    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 .

 Try posting this question on  comp.sys.laptops.thinkpad . I got some
very helpful advice on my "new to me" 400s when resurrecting it. Best
to add what detail you can scrounge up regarding model, serial and
any revision numbers.

   Thanks Bob , I'll look into that group . As far as I can tell I need a program that only runs on a floppy disc to add the missing information . I've ordered what I need , I just hope getting that done will stop the BSOD problem . If I have to I can wipe the HDD and start over . I've had to reinstall an OS and the programs I use before ...
