First off, yes this does pertain to my other thread.
Secondly, I have searched his house top to bottom and the OS that should have came with the stock PC is nowhere to be found. He informed me that he threw away all of the boxes that the PC came with, so it is slightly possible that he tossed the disk.
Two quick questions:
1) How do I access the Restore Partition/Recovery so that I can repair or restore the PC to factory settings? I have checked through the BIOS as well as the Setup menu by pressing F12 on startup, but that just resulted in a BSOD every time I tried that method.
2) Would I be able to use my Vista 64-bit Home Premium copy on his PC and use the Recovery/Reformat option that way? He has 64-bit the same as me. So I assume it would work, but I cannot be sure.
If I am unable to get this done, I will refer him to one of the professionals in our area who will undoubtedly charge him out the ass.
