He claimed that the format procedure went ok,, which means the drive he used had to have been in the table of drives, or the format procedure would not have come back with an O.K. My question for him is,, did you use a NEW hard drive, or a used one? Bad sectors on a hard drive do not show up under HDFormatting, that only writes the partition table and FAT to the hard drive. sounds like a bad drive to me, or bad data from the laptop. Try reloading the system software to the laptop to test that theory.
