My guess is that you bought a toughbook and didn't opt to get a cd/rom with it. It just came with a floppy. Now you want to recover it with the recovery cd(s) so you bought a usb cd/rom but are having a problem because it does not boot to the usb cd/rom when you start it up. I looked at the panasonic website and could not find a solution. I would bet if you could get into the bios you could change the boot order to boot to usb. Now I couldn't find that at their website either. Their website if very confusing. If you have a manual look in it to find out how to get into the bios at start up to change the boot order. On a lot of computer that you put together yourself you have to press the delete button at start up. On hp computers it's f1. I think on compaq computers it's f10. You might look real close at the screen at start up it might say "press some key to enter setup".
