I guess you are right...but without any information on what part of the install it failed, I just guessed that it could be the part when it started to install into the hard drive. Recovery Console runs from the CD and RAM. With a functioning mobo, a good RAM and working CD/DVD drive, he is not locked out yet, thus the CHKDSK suggestion... but then again I could be wrong...

If you have a better solution to help resolve the issue, please do join in.
