If it's something that's serious (not an easy fix, nasty virus, etc.), and if it powers up, but doesn't boot, have her download and burn a copy of Knoppix, then run it (if she's no good with computers, have her find a geek to do it for her). Then, if she has a web based email account (her school probably has one for her), have her email her homework and important files to herself. Then she should run her restore disk.
