    Hmm, I thought it'll go into Recovery only if the F11 key is pressed during boot up?

    Also, if he upgraded to Windows 7 and has no need of Vista (assuming that's what the recovery partition contains), why not remove the recovery partition? I believe, when installing Windows 7, it's possible to clear the partitions...

    Sure he can, he installed Windows 7, not using the recovery partition right? If he tries to use the recovery partition, he'll get back Vista, no? :)

    If I were him I would reinstall Windows 7 and completely clear the hard disk of all partitions.
