Yarp nuke the basterd and while your at it Johnny, delete that useless System Recovery partition as well . You could always hook up your HDD to your friends computer first , just set pins to slave and try and burn to cd or dvd your pic's , music what not .
Its very easy to do and help is here or Google , its a frustrating help topic as you could probably fix it with a Install disk running the command fixmbr .
My advice would be to get a hold of a Win XP Pro Corp cd with help from your friend maybe he could D/L and burn for you .
