go to Start-> Run -> type in "cmd". from the command prompt type " cd \ " then type this:
C:\> dir [file_name] /s
replace [file_name] with whatever file you want. the /s mean search subdirectories. if you dont put the /s then it will only search the root directory. enjoy.

If the file you're searching for is marked as hidden, it won't show up unless you add the /a (all) switch to the dir command. ie;
dir/a/s filename.ext
(As sean stated, ensure you're in the root directory of the drive you want to search.)
