When you swapped out the Hard Disk Drive
of the Panasonic Toughbook CF52 it is very
importatnt that you did not "hot" swap the HDD
but that you turned off the unit with a full shutdown
and unplugged it as well.
Once you removed the Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
I am assuming that you replaced the drive with
another drive that had a proper operating system
already installed. If not, then of course nothing
happened since you replaced the HDD with a blank
or unformatted HDD.
One way to verify if the replacement Hard Drive
is recognized by the Toughbook is to go into
the BIOS by pressing the F2 function key and
checking the size or capacity of the replacement
Hard Disk Drive. If it shows the proper value,
then the HDD is recognized at the Hardware Level.
If it shows HDD as None or Zero then the replacement
HDD is NOT recognized and you have to try a different
drive which is functional.
Good Luck!

We couldn't really identify which drivers are missing. Here's what you can do. Boot to safe mode and check the device manager. Uninstall the drivers with problems and restart your computer. After that, install the drivers by going to the website of the manufacturer and download the drivers from there.
Use RadarSync if you want to update the drivers. This software is an automatic PC Updater (Drives).
