If you're one of those people who doesn't take backups (and since you're a Winfag, I'd guess you are), the first thing to do is not to use Explorer to look at your filesystem, but something else, to get a better idea of what happened.

3. Open the file you saved.
4. Shit bricks.
5. oh... wait...

Hit Winkey + R.
Enter CMD; press enter.

then type (no quotation marks)

"chkdsk -?"

use chkdsk with the relevant parameters (detailed in the help output you just called) to see if your filesystem is fucked.
