Uhm, excuse me but, why the fuck are you insisting he upgrades to Windows 7 - especially after he's explicitly stated many very good reasons not to upgrade (and there being no legitimate reason to upgrade) - when it isn't going to help in the slightest with his problem of lost data. This thread should have ended after stating there was no way of recovering the data (reliably) without finding those CDs.

It's called proving support?

When they've bought something that they obviously want to use, there might be a way to help them to use it that they don't realise.

I'm not pretending it's going to help with the lost data, I'm just trying to provide a solution to a problem, no need to be so rude about it.

He doesn't have a problem with software not working, his software works perfectly fine. His software would only break if he followed your "advice" and "upgraded" to Windows 7.

providing*, btw.

He was actually saying that the hardware was a problem.....which I find hard to believe of a 3 year old computer.  I just wanted to see what the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor said as there might be an easy way around it.
