I have clean installed W2k on my T23. now I have 3 unknown devices
They come in the following order:
-Unknown Device
-Unknown Device
-PCI Unknown Device
anybody has an idea what am I missing here from the lenovo website?

Can you post a pic (or a link to a pic, rather) of your device manager? It will help to see what has already been caught....and what was missed. Also, do you have anything "extra" attached like a Wireless card (Mini-pci or PCMCIA)?

not i don't have anything extra attached.
here is the link to photobucket: http://s37.photobucket.com/albums/e84/m ... ent=ps.jpg
sorry for the poor quality.

Did you get all the drivers from here?
I would probably install these next.

well i didn't install the following:
bios
cdrom
diagnostics
dock
cmd ultra DMA IDE Driver
multimedia
mediamatics
bootagent
intel priority packet
os/2
power managment
power managment ACPI
battery maximiser
hibernation

i did try to update drivers using the w2k supplement but nothing changed.

I used that app as you have suggested. here is what i got:
PCI: - intel corp 82801CA SMBus controller (ICH3- SBI Step)
Unknown: -unknown ID IBM0061
Unknown: -unknown ID IBM0071
Any ideas?

You need to load the sound-drivers to get rid of the 82801CA error.

The other two (I would guess) could be your USB ports.

I know that for Win XP at least one of those unknowns are eliminated by installing ACPI power management. I guess it does not hurt to try in win2k.

Come to think of it.
I ran into the ACPI issue on my T22 on W2k, chances are that will fix one of them.
The other is the sound driver.
Get those 2 loaded and lets see what is left

I'll try to pull out my T23 in the morning, and compare the two device manager windows...

- the power managment driver took care of one of the unknow devices.
- the sound driver is already installed, i have double checked by reinstalling it
- i still have one unknown device left and one unknown PCI device.

Also in Win XP the modem is a usual contributor of those unknown PCI devices. Again it will not hurt if you give a try in win2k.

i got windows use windows update and install its own modem. again two more devices left.
