If, immediately after rebooting, you run CHKDSK, it should find lost
clusters. When it asks you if you want to save them as files, say yes.
There should be one or more files in your root directory that look like
file0000.chk. Rename them to file0000.txt.
Open them one at a time and see if any of them are the log entries.
