I have a toughbook model: CF-27E series. I have the necessary disk to reformat, but when I did the bootup disk, the laptop no longer recognizes the cd rom which is external and connects by usb port.

How do I get this to recognize the drive?

Thanks

Most major manufacturers keep drivers for download on their web site. www.panasonic.com

I finally got the save to partition all set...WOOHOO!!!

Now I need the find out what devices are in my laptop and who they are made by. As I need all the original drivers, due to the fact that my recovery cd/fd is corrupted and no longer any good.

I contacted panasonic to see if I could purchase the original cd/fd, but they have yet to get back to me.

So of course once again I'm stuck up that river without the paddle.

If anyone know's where I can purchase all the original drivers and software, I'd greatly, greatly appreciate it :-)
