Right! It's "Ky's Litle Pony"! ...I wonder if the BIOS date was damaged because
of a bad BIOS update or something to do with encryption: it was a business
computer and so possibly using a key when communicating.

Well, maybe my guess on why the munged BIOS date is why the files aren't
being seen externally.

Works for me! Might be able to have a passageway between the possibly encryted
Windows section and the Linux section (shared folder). (My
guess is still encrypted, but worth the fun playing!)
