How to fix error f3 f200 002 satellite c850 IS it very costly to replace the hard drive of my pc

You can reinstall windows cleanly if you have another computer. https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10ISO

It is not recognizing your hard drive. Put your Windows installation DVD in the optical drive and try restarting again. It MAY be able to help you but the data on your hard drive may be permanently damaged. You may have to reinstall Windows and all of your applications.

No doubt that the hard drive has serious problem, You need to replace the hard drive ... Then reinstall the operating system on the new drive using the disc you have.

Hi,
Please Check This KB ( How to troubleshoot a "STOP 0xC000021A" error ) : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/156669?wa=wsignin1.0

Pull the battery out of it and let the computer alone for an hour or so to let it completely reset. Then turn it on again after reinserting the battery.

go to google and just type the error number and you will find the answer for it and instructions how to fix it.

Hi Lea,

If you're getting the F3 F100 0003 error on boot-up, the problem might lie on three things. It's either the a bad HDD, Memory, or the video adapter (which is soldered on the motherboard). Since you already replaced the HDD, the problem might lie on the other two. If you can burn a disc to run diagnostics on your computer, you can use UltimateBootCD or Hiren's Boot CD (more info on the tools here).

I've also seen some errors when you are trying to re-image the HDD using the Recovery Discs and it may have some connection to the error message that you're getting. Here's a list below:

-An error has occurred: ERROR : 10-FC10-1710" -- may be caused by a faulty hard drive.--An error has occurred. ERROR : 10-FC12-0241" -- may be caused by a faulty hard drive or defective memory.
-An error has occurred. ERROR :10-FC12-045D" -- may be caused by a faulty hard drive.
-An error has occurred. ERROR :10-FC06-0002" -- may be caused by damaged recovery media or faulty hard drive.
-An error has occurred. ERROR :10-FC12-0970" -- may be caused by defective memory.


Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi ilikepie2,

Unfortunately Error F3-F100-0003 means that the hard disk has failed. You need to replace the hard drive of your computer. If you can get someone (local tech) to check if they can still recover the files on it, it would be better.

Thanks for using Fixya.
