Operating system partition? I'm not sure how that would help with finding the creation date. Seems like a bit of a wild card option.

The system log? That could work, but I'd imagine the metadata would be more reliable for this task.

But what about Internet activity data? Couldn't that also provide clues about when the document was created?

Hmm, I'm not sure internet activity data would help with determining the creation date of a specific document file. That seems like a stretch.
