If he can boot into Windows have him update his virus defintions and scan his h.d.d. for viruses.

Have him try Housecall also.

Other good tools to use is Adaware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

and Spybot
http://beam.to/spybotsd

Make sure you update both tools before running.

*edit
You can also put his h.d.d. in your computer as a slave and run scan disk and scan for viruses with your anti-virus program.

You can probably expand this file from the original CD, but the easiest thing to do is probably to boot off the XP CD & do an automated recovery :)
