I dont think so. Ubuntu Server build doesn't have a GUI to boot into last

He said the laptop worked with XP before he messed up trying to install
Linux. Or I might have read it incorrectly. XP doesn't work on a 64MB RAM
machine since it requires minimum of 128 MB of RAM which is more than enough
for a base Linux system, or for a base live cd which has the GNU tools,
gparted, and other little helpers which are more than enough in order to
remove the erring file system.

And newer hardware is not the issue at hand. Are you suggesting that he use
a different hardware instead which is not the real objective?
