Also -  have him do a "get info" on one of the tracks listed as  
missing.  What does it show for "where"? Find that location on his HD.  
Does it  match, or did something get renamed or such?

If all else fails, and you  can actually find the files manually, he  
can try this:

Quit  iTunes.
Move the iTunes folder to the desktop (make sure it moves - don't  do  
a shortcut).
Launch iTunes - it should now have no music  listed.
Import the songs from the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder  on  
the desktop. On the Mac, simply dragging the folder onto the  source  
pane in iTunes will do it. Dunno about Windows. If drag/drop  doesn't  
do it, try "File->Add to Library".
If he has iTunes  prefs set to keep the Music folder  organized, and  
"Copy files  to iTunes Library" set in iTunes prefs, then iTunes will  
copy all  his music files to the iTunes Music folder (wherever it was   
originally). Once this is verified, he can dump the folder on the   
desktop.
This will recreate the Library, but playlists and playcounts  will be  
lost.


I will give this a try; thank you!
