Perhaps the disk contains some new tools
that allow to reset broken hardware/firmware internals to any state
you like, e.g. perhaps the imei of your modem

I have (repeating) seen this, (ONLY on a laptop...), but it is very
possible... but 13gig of it :S
thats abit much...

It seems, that the machine contains at least 13G of windows-OS and

What could be interesting: Although I found some tools via google,
e.g. rw-everything, a "hardware configuration reader/dumper", there
are also some tools I do not know, that might deal about branding or
special hardware initialization, e.g.

./WWAN/Leadcore/BAK/IMEI.TXT
./WWAN/Leadcore/IMEI.TXT

with different IMEI in it. Perhaps the disk contains some new tools
that allow to reset broken hardware/firmware internals to any state

these kinds of tools do exist, and are exceptionally useful.

often highly proprietary (containing magic signing keys or firmwares
for testing).

what about a full file dump? were you able to reconstruct anything useful?
 i can has? :P
