Windows 7: Start up error

Hi
I gave my son a new Toshiba Satellite Pro L500 for Xmas with windows 7 installed
When it is switched on windows starts to load but then an error notice appears

An error has occurred
Error:F3-F100-0005
please press OK to turn off the computer.


Does anyone have any idea yow this error can be corrected?
All of the help etc is inaccessible on the notebook

Hi

As it is new, return to retailer.

Since its brand new, the only fault should be factory made. Lke the guy above said, return it.

I of course agree with the 2 above posters, but just one additonal piece of advice. Don't wait. After Christmas there are many people bringing back their gifts. Some people who bought themselves items in June, then decided that its not wanted in August, wait until the Christmas rush and say it was a gift, I do not have a receipt. Retailers are very agreeable. Act now and you will get a replacement with no problem

Totally agree. ACT FAST!
Save the whales, undo global warming, stop wars, stop PNAC's plunder... etc...

It seems only Toshiba note has the error like F3-xxxxxx
I just bought a NB200 about 10 hours ago
So I just want redivide the disk patition,and I reload the Windows 7 like you
But 1 hour past,and i receive the message: "ERROR: F3-F100-0004"
Then I wish can find someone put the disk image on the internet
or I can download the Windows 7 from microsoft website,or i can use usb cdrom install a windows xp first
but I can't
It seems the only way is send the note to the service department

I would say run startup repair or return it to the store where you got it from

how to run startup repair is to boot into the windows 7 dvd i belive.

torrent site might work but is not a good idea.

Here is a link for a 90 day trial of enterprice of win 7
Windows 7 Enterprise| Trial, Evaluation, Test, Deploy

Thats illegal, and most torrents contain viruses.
