The first step before formatting the drive and reinstalling Windows is to back up your files. Normally you would use an external drive or flash drive, or maybe a writable CD or DVD. Did you do that?
I spoke to him today. He said it would hae taken too long to do those files. He was pretty much lazy. I told him give me the backup so I can complete the job. Hopefully this gets wrapped up this week.

I don't have anything to suggest except talk to your friend, and hope he knows what he was doing.
