Try cleaning that disk. Sometimes there is a speck of dirt, fingerprint, oil, scratch or the like.

BTW, what kind of update were you installing? Some update files need a prior update already installed to work. Others are full updates which include previous updates.

Would torrenting a copy and burning onto a new DVD help, only after the above step has failed to yield positive results? I mean, he has a legal key right, so would downloading an illegal copy be illegal in that sense, seeing that he already has a legal one? Or would he be able to get the disk replaced with a fresh one?

The 1.3 patch comes in two flavors. One is an incremental patch that requires previous patches to be installed first and there is a full or complete patch that includes previous patches. The full patch is about 438MB and the incremental is about 83MB.
