I don't think it's actually spinning up but the electronics are good

Does the drive spin up? If it does, you could try a kit to go from the
drive to USB to see if it still can read data. If so, you should be

about 30 bucks.

No, he should stick with the Mac. But even with a Mac, don't upgrade
to a new OS until the inevitable gremlins have been exorcised! The

Before you trash the tower, you might look into replacing the drive
cables. Many :"mother board" and hard drive problems can be traced to
bad cables.
