not everyone has the resource kit install and only vista ships with robust copy as default.
He will need the normal copy syntax
BUT:

To do a recovery from CD, you need to go into BIOS and change the boot menu to boot from CD. After that, you can just follow the instruction on the screen.
To go into BIOS:
When you start up your computer, you should see a screen. This is called POST screen. At the bottom of the screen usually, there should be information about what button to press if you want to go to "BIOS Setup". The button is usually F2 or F8, not sure what yours would be.
To change boot sequence:
After you are in BIOS go to the tab called BOOT. Change the boot priority so that the CD-ROM Drive is at the top followed by other method. Once you have done this, select "Save & Exit" or something along those line.
Your computer should re-start by itself after saving the configuration. Make sure you have inserted the Windows CD into the CD drive before you save the configuration. Then just follow the instructions on the screen. Make sure you choose repair instead of doing a re-install.
Hope this helps.
and Good Luck
