need help with toshiba satellite error code f3-f200-0002

[jeffreyh]

I have a laptop of a friend and it crashed. It is a Toshiba satellite L755D - S5106. He wanted the hard drive wiped and a new version of windows 7 put on. I have a hard drive dock hooked to my desktop comp, and when I plugged in the laptop drive, it will not do a full format. When I put the hard drive back in, it gives me the error f3-f200-0002 and will not load Windows 7 off of the disk that I have. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The FalkTech post seems like it worked.

Edit: If nothing works I'd do a diagnostic on the drive. See if it went bad. At least if that's what happened you have the diagnostic results to show you did nothing wrong.
