N: could be the name of one of her harddrives.

I have C: D: G: R: U: myself.

If she has more then one harddrive u can tell her to boot on the other harddrive and check if that works. maybe something in windows is just fucked up and need a format :\ ^^

If you don't care waht is on the hard drive and want to reformat, just go into your bios settings, switch your boot up drive to cd-rom, save and restart. Have windows 2000 or higher in the cd-rom. At least you will be able to format you HD.
