Well, the good news, is that I have all his data backed up on an external drive. The bad news is that the Toshiba Utilities disk won't boot, and the Recovery disk boots, but only gives me choices that make no sense:
Reinstall some sort of Express Movie thing, Delete all the partions, or uninstall the Express Movie thing.
I tried the first, and there were no changes. I deleted all the partions, and there is a small C: partition, I suspect recovery stuff, and the computer won't boot. I'm on Plan C; now. Install Windows XP Pro, and then see what I can do with the Recovery stuff.
It's reformatting the deleted partions, which is 76317 MB of disk space, and I'm doing the regular formmating as I don't want any of the Malware to remain.
FUN!
