If he only uses it for facebook and those sorts of things, grab a usb stick and install a linux distro on it.

Just about all, if not all linux distro's can run off a usb drive no problem. I've used ubuntu a bunch off a usb drive to tweak a few things I cant really do in windows.

Ubuntu and pretty well all linux distro's are free, you may want to look into this if you want to avoid paying a bunch of money for a new HDD to be put in the laptop.
