Linux has got a restriction that the boot sector must be below 1024.
IIRC, that means that the /boot dir has to be within the 8.4 Gb area.
If he has any partitioning tools int Win, ie Partition Magic, he should
try to created a small partition (20 Mb > enough) at the beginning of
the Harddisk.
That should solve his problem.
