    Just picked up a used Mk3 that's been wiped, no OS but has the COA.
    Looking for a set of recovery discs.

    If Forum Moderator Toughbook doesn't have a set you can get a set from a reliable ebaY™ seller here.

    Yeah, tried to send him a message, but for some reason I don't have the rights... :confused:

    Is there a post count or time on the board minimum?

    Will that do what I need? I thought that MK1/2/3 and MK4/5 were a bit different driver wise. CF-30 is a whole different animal, no?

    Toughbook-
    My email address is jpmarotta at comcast.net, drop me a line if you want to take this off the board.

    More than that: the CF-29 Series Panasonic Product Recovery CD-ROMs "read" the unit and will not work on the incorrect Mark.

    If you use the previously provided link to the ebaY™ sale page you will see the different CD sets available for the CF-29 Toughbooks.

    Also, since this particular sale is over you may want to save Mark Hawkins to your Favorites for future use.

    I dropped the seller a message, he re-listed the ad and I threw down on it.

    Thanks for the heads up.
