i'll save you time. NO. he needs to get a real copy of windows or discs made for his pc.

even if it works, it's not smart. you're starting off with drivers not made for that machine.

if you've got a windows serial key (and you should, somewhere on a sticker on the case), then just download the proper version of windows and burn it, using that key.
