A Serious Error Has Occurred 8002F281 On My Ps3?

Please can somebody help me with this. Okay so today I decided to upgrade my ps3 slim's hard drive from a 120gb to a 500gb, well I backed up all my data, game saves etc, and i turned off my ps3 removed the hard drive, exchanged it for the new one, made sure everything was the same when I put it back. So i turned it on and it told me to format the hard drive by pressing START and Select, so I did. It then showed that it was formatting when it got to 100% it stayed thier for like 30 min, but i didn't mind it. After another 10 or so minutes i found that on the top right corner a little loading circle, was not moving so I knew that my ps3 had froze, so like a dumbass I disconnected the power to the ps3, I turned it back on and it didn't want to boot up. So again I took out the hard drive put back the old one thinking it would be all well and good, told me that I needed to format the hard drive, so again I let it format, only this time it said "a serious error has occurred error code 8002F281", please I don't know what to do. Please also, I bought this ps3 three years ago at costco, and the warranty expired last year, was under a 2 year warranty plan. Please any help would be great.
