It sounds like a fillesystem corruption. These are sometimes (but not always) recoverable.
I would run chkdsk /r on the disk - you may be able to do this from 'safe mode with command prompt' (F8 on boot), but otherwise you would need a bootable utility or OS CD.

And these can generally be ordered from Dell's website if it comes to that.
