Looks like your friend is caught in between. The system manufacturer made a deal with the parts suppliers to warranty the system for one year, apparently in place of a manufacturer's warranty that would come with most hard drives. WD, Maxtor, IBM, and other major drive suppliers give a 3 year warranty. You should try to reformat and start over. If that doesn't fix the problem, your should think about telling your friend to be prepared to drop $50-$60 on a name brand 20 gig hard drive. Getting the old one looked at and/or fixed will cost much more than getting a new drive with a 3-year warranty. I believe that you can get 20 gig, 5400 rpm drives from major makers at about $50 online.
