I think it sounds like more of a hardware issie since he's getting an odd error when trying to use the recovery disc.

If you are getting a BSOD (blue screen of death), chances are it flashes too fast for you to write anything down. If/when you get your system running, you might want to shut off automatic reboot so you can write the information down. It may help for future troubles. From Microsoft:
1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box.
4. Clear the Automatically restart check box, and click OK the necessary number of times.
5. Restart your computer for the settings to take effect.
