Quite a common error and should be easy enough to sort out if you have a boot disk. If not you could download one to your machine, and burn to cd for use on your sisters machine.
Try this link for instructions:

(Relates to XP even though it's a Vista repair site).
Good luck!!Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity.
That's how rich I want to be.
But until then - best wishes - Mike.
