this is easier
You can find the tool in the “Start menu” > “All programs” > “Maintenance” > “Create a Recovery Disc”. You will need either a blank CD or DVD along with your original Windows installation disc. It will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
so i did everything but i dont have the windows installation disc
Boot sick laptop from the recover cd and perform a "startup repair". Do it 3 times with reboots in between. Does it find errors? Which one? could he fix it?

You don't need that.
The iso you already have contains plenty of programs.
There is a heart icon on the desktop - click it - and use auto boot repair.

You just need to select the Active partition and the Windows partition in the dropdowns and click Apply
This is what you see How to use the Command Prompt in the Vista Windows Recovery Environment
Doesn't see any vista installations? Press next anyway. Use the "startup repair" option
You cannot create startup repar disc form Vista unlees you have the Vista install dvd.
Pointless - if you have the Vista install dvd - recovery options are on there anyway.
The iso he has already downloaded is better than anything else - it took me 3yrs to make.
[I have more programs in the one I use personally - some of them are licensed and some are too difficult for most people to use.]
The programs on the iso he has should be fine.
The message is telling him the bcd entry is wrong - not surprising.
Follow instructions in my previous post
