Boy, is your friend going to be mad at you.

It sounds like you wiped out his disk.

Before installing Linux you have to backup all the data, wipe the HD,
create two partitions, install windows to the first partition, restore
his data to that partition, reboot, install Linux to the second
partition.

The other way to do it is to buy another HD, disconnect the Windows
disk, install Linux to the new disk, connect the Windows disk as
Master, change the Linux disk to Slave, set your boot HD through the
BIOS.
