I tested it and confimed with him that he did use Iseeuu's method. While I was aware of the recovery console. I had not known that it was accessable through the advanced boot menu. I had thought that the recovery console is only accessable through a recovery CD, which is why i ruled it out as an option when I had said he did not use any peripheral devices such as USB or CD to boot from to get an OS loaded from.
Thank you to everyone for your help :)
