Well, honestly, it was a little hard to follow your description of events, but I think I may have an idea what might have happened? Is the windows partition you were accessing NTFS? Because Microsoft won't share the information to do so, Linux cannot reliably write to NTFS. If you tried writing ANYTHING to NTFS, it may have royally screwed up your partition.
P.S. what's a SAM?
