Go there :

Choose your model, OS, language.
Select Category=All Drivers.
From the list, download and (re-)install the driver and utility related to your device.
Don't forget to comply with the Install Instruction (beginning of the list) :
it indicates the correct drivers installation order.

If the USB board is still functioning, you can get a PCIMCIA to USB adaptor (or similar) which will allow you to run usb devices from the card

Copy containts of CD on to thumb drive or external hard drive thru another computer first.

I don't thank they have it out for tablet yet. Wait a bit and they should.

Finding a complete recovery disc is prooving difficult. i have found a couple of alternatives to getting a complete install on disc, but they do take a little bit more time.

if you have a copy of the windows which you wish to run your system on. which nowadays arent hard to comeby, then you can use this link as a driver and compac software restore disk

however these downloads / cd'a have to be purchased. i really wouldnt bother with it. drivers and apps for compac arent a must have and usually just do things to make the GUI fancey or easy to use. most drivers will be picked up on windows install and the rest wont be hard to track down. a standard windows install is surfice for most things and runs quicker than an install full of tosh little programs.

XP can not be installed from usb as the bios does not enable it. Plug the ide hard drive into an older desktop system and install from boot on cd. Once all files are copied over then you need to copy the i386 folder over from the cd. Reinstall the hard drive into the toughbook and carry on the install from there.

The BIOS may not support the larger drive at all; I suggest you look for a Toughbook forum and repost there and check Panasonic's site for a manual download and possibly a BIOS upgrade if the unit is equipped with a flash BIOS.
