    There is no drivers specific for that
    That issue comes up if the m/b drivers are incorrect
    Its probably the chipset drivers needed
    Are you restoring from the restore disks or are you using an oem disk
    Are you w2000 or xppro
    Have you downloaded from the Panasonic site all the updated drivers and updated them

    I will agree with Tomcat57,,,,
    All you need are the chipset drivers
    When you reboot after the chipset install, then windows will find new hardware and install the pci drivers for you

    2 drivers
    first is touchscreen
    second is non-touch

    Give it a try a report back results

    Thats unusual that between windows and the panasonic downloads
    That you still have that problem
    The only time that I run into this, is if I change a fully loaded hard drive between mk#s
    Whats the history of your mk-3
    Did everything work good before the hard drive change?

    i had been running xp sp2 and had been wanting to add another partition .i used partition magic 8 ,it gave me a warning about about the length of a particular cylinder .anyway i clicked to repair the fault and it wiped out my drive.i could not get it to be recognised under any recovery software from my ultimate boot disk . or fdisk.so i swapped out the drive with a 40gig western.i then mounted the old drive in a enclosure.and using a live linux ubuntu distro i half repaired the drive with gparted .then i could only clear the partition with my ultimate boot disk.so thats when i did the new install.i had even wiped the recovery partition .however i used a file recovery program to recover the lost image .so i think i will use that image to get be back in order.

    Muzz.. you only need an "inf" driver, look for that and you must first install this driver before anything else.

    As I said the only time that I run into this is trying the wrong hard caddy hard drive between mk#s
    I would suggest a format followed by a full windows installation followed by as ohlip said the inf motherboard drivers first
