You did not make it clear what your asking help for, it does not matter if it is made by them, the custom cd drive doesnt effect it what so ever, near enough every, if not most computers have a cd/dvd drive from a different brand. What do you mean restore, im pretty sure if you found it, and it has windows xp on it, it is not worth messing with anymore and XP support ends this year anyway.

"Windows Key" + "Pause" will bring system properties. From there you should be able to see the OEM branding. That will give you a place to start.

Then;

C:\windows\system32 Once in system32 find "msinfo32" run that and it will give you more information again.
