Computer start up error... ?

Attempting to help a friend fix a computer issue... when starting up the computer throws an error of "incompatible disk structure" or something similar to that... (troubleshooting over the phone is lame!). Here's what I knew about the system:

It's got an older AMD Sempron, it's running windows XP, RAM = 512 MB, and it's got IDE hard drives... sorry I can't give more details than that... if you have any suggestions at all I'll be glad to hear em!

    I think i have had the same problem, but with a different computer. Try to press enter 3 times and right click the screen. That's what i did and it works again!
