I did get hacked once, and the bastard simply deleted the windows directory. If you can get a boot disk, check out the directory structure to make sure everything is where it should be before panicking. Then do a scandisk on the drive (thoroughly). If it's the drive, I would suggest just buying a new drive. No point waiting for this to happen again.
Drives don't last as long as they used to.
EDIT: I had a drive fail because my fan wasn't cooling it enough. If you do get a new drive, maybe get a hardcore fan, too, esp. if she's having a hot summer.
