put the original disc in the drive and run a search for that file and see if it's on the disc anywhere?

these computers don't come with an "original" disk they come with the OS preinstalled and a recovery CD

if it don't come with a os disk then the os is on a hidden partition, run a search there or is that where you already found it? go into the startup and see if it's starting with windows. you can even try to run a search in the registry to see how far it's gotten and if it's cloned itself any farther. have you plugged a usb thumb drive into it? if so see if it has cloned itself onto that?

Just checked 4 of our 30 MW810's. It's not in ours.
