    I purchased a CF18 Toughbook off of ebay. The #3 recovery disk is corrupt. I contacted the seller and he sent me a new set of disks. Unfortunately he sent me the MK 2 recovery disks.
    So, I am in search of a set or just #3 recovery disk for a CF18F (MK 3).
    If anyone has them for sale please contact me.
    Thank You
    Bryan

    I tried heartland. I placed an order for the restore disk set. Less than an hour later a rep called back and cancelled my order saying they were not available anylonger and goodluck.

    Do you know for a fact that the third disc has a problem
    When restoring the cf-18's I have had issues when you do not change disks quickly and it will say file,or image not found
    btw is your cf-18 a touchcreen or a digitizer

    The original disks sent with the toughbook were copies. when I put Disk labeled #3 in my desktop it reads disk2 data. I compared it to my disk two and they are the same. The seller then sent me the original MK2 disks. They give me a "not for this machine" error.
    Thanks
    Bryan
    ps: it is a touchscreen

    The disks Came with the CF18 I bought. It wasn't until almost a year later that i tried to use the disks. Then I found out I had two #2 disks.
