The operating system is still there, he's only deleted some folders/files it's not possible for him to have removed the actual OS.
Provided the device is capable of booting up, it would have re-written the file in the device's Garmin folder named GarminDevice.xml which tells GarminExpress which files are needed to restore it. So just download GE if you haven't already and try updating your DriveSmart:

Thank for you reply Neil,
Yes I have downloaded GE and as mentioned above I have reset the device several times. I have just reset again and was able to update, but it still won't allow me to "find Address" and there is still no voice on directions although the device is set correctly and has sound on clicking buttons, so the volume is high enough.
Kind Regards,
Keith
