My hard drive crashed. That`s what a computer man told me. (He asked me for $250 to fix the thing).

When I reboot it in safe mode the next label appears on the window:
------------
<error>
ERROR: F3-F000-0001
An error has occurred. Please press OK to turn off the computer.
------------

Now, if I buy new hard drive, can I use my Recovery disc to reinstall Windows and all drivers? Or do I need something else to bring the laptop working properly?

The laptop is Toshiba satellite with Vista. I have my files backed up.

I appreciate any help.
