My Opinion: I don't think Linux crashed this machine. I cant understand why the system is accessing PXE boot. Am sure you know what PXE boot is. The trick to recover this machine lie here. May be its is a fall back option if it cant find the Win boot loader. If he can get into BIOS, he should change the boot sequence to HDD if not already done. Last - may not be suitable for this case now but important for any other cases that happen in future. Once you partition a Win machine and change the partition map, always boot into Win once. Also if possible do the partitioning using Windows tools from within Win. Of course it may not format to ext, but at least the basic partitions can be done and then reformatted during the installation. This applies to Vista and Win7. This is what i remember having read.
