Although it's not much use at the moment, for future reference maybe your friend might want to consider backup options, possibly a couple of external hard drives, or even something like Google Drive/Dropbox/Microsoft Skydrive etc (in fact I wouldn't be surprised if Windows 8 had an option to backup to Skydrive). At least that way if anything happens to the laptop chances are they'd have a backup of the important stuff (yep, I've learnt that the hard way).
If using such services it's important to work out if "data loss" or "data disclosure" is going to be most damaging to you. Best to assume that anything you ever put on any of the services listed is available to a largish group of people and individuals.
