I'll give you one solution. The one I would use.

1. Turn the power on.

2. Insert the Linux Mint Live DVD.

3. Let Linux Mint boot up Live, not from the hard drive.

4. Copy all your important files from the computer onto a usb drive.

5. Double check you got all the important files.

6. Choose the icon install Linux Mint.

7. Tell your Mom not to do that again.
