Hi, I own a Toshiba M400. I was trying to update my DMI strings such that I could use my recovery disks because I get the "WRONG MACHINE" screen.

What do I do?

Thanks in advance.

Hi and thanks for taking a moment to read this request.
I have a Toshiba Tecra A7 that had a motherBoard fail.
Replacement MoBo works with original HDD-WinXP configuration (Hitachi 60GB).
I wish to use a Samsung 160GB spinPoint however the recovery CD shows the MoBO to have the wrong DMI-string info.
Toshiba wants $s and time to re-write the DMI string.
I have a second, identical Tectra A7 and can get to the DMI string-values (will need to use this Serial#.
Can you tell me where you sourced the DMI update software?
Thanks
