Whatever happened, it wasn't good. It's possible he bumped or dropped
the computer while the disk was reading or writing, which could have
resulted in damaging portions of the disk. Erasing will map out any bad
sectors as long as the sectors aren't in critical areas used for
boot & directory management.

Not that I know of, no.

I'd be sure to run another Verify Disk after you've restored everything
to ensure no errors are reported. And be sure he backs it up regularly
afterwards.
