re >pull the C: out of the computer, get a USB enclosure, change the C: drive to slave and you should have access to your files.< He could install a new HD where the C: used to be and restore Windows to it, then install the old C: as the second drive and rescue his files from it. After that the old C: could become the backup drive. Or, have the computer shop do it. PS: if the HD is serial, there is no master/slave as far as I know. My 5 year old Compaq is serial, so his may be too, unless it's much older.
