Don't worry, I'm sure it will turn up.

Perhaps it's slipped down behind the desk - I'm always finding things there.

What information is on the hard disk that you need to recover. If the OS is the same as for the file server then yank it out and attach it as an external drive. Then you can recover whatever data you need before fdisking it and reinstalling the operating system.

It'll only be his porn stash anyway. That's what infects these things, causing the crashes, in the first place

He prolly needs the massive file server for the porn stash rather than the PC. Backs up the pub on the PC I imagine.  noooo:
