I am trying to load an Acronis boot CD into a Panasonic Toughbook CF-52P.
The CD shows in Computer on the right side but not in the left pane.
It shows in Device Manager and Disk Management.
It wont boot from CD.
I tried 2 other cd players and they wont show up at all.
I have a USB CDrom and it wont boot or be detected.
This laptop had many viruses and I am trying to wipe it and reinstall an image.
 
Can you boot Linux off a thumb drive and wipe the laptop from there?

Windows will pull drivers from a prior installation, which may be your problem.
 
I made a USB install for Acronis which worked.
the issue was fixed by moving UAC up 1 and rebooting then back 1 and rebooting. Then I didnt have to run as admin to get app to work. Also the folders opened quickly instead of dragging on.
