WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED???????????

 

 I created a Layout.psd and a year-overview.psd.  

The layout was to be the layout of the site and year-overview.psd was to  be the center page. I opened the year-overview.psd and PLACED layout.psd inside.  Clicked the Smart Object to edit it as a new file. Made some changed and saved  using "SAVE". I closed photoshop at one point. Opened layout.psd as a standalone  and started working on it. Worked on it for 7 HOURS saving every few minutes  again with "SAVE".

I then opened year-overview.psd, PLACED the layout.psd  inside to see how it looked together and noticed right away the OLD layout.psd  was showing (before the 7 HOURS of work done).. I double clicked the Smart  Object to look at the file and sure enough it resorted to the OLD version???? I  then closed the files and loaded layout.psd again as a standalone and 7 HOURS of  work just MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED and restored itself to the FIRST time I  loaded it as a smart object 5 HOURS ago...

I lost EVERYTHING?? I don't  remember what I did.. I did SO much work.. Started this at 9 pm and it's now  4:30AM and it's all GONE?!!!!!??!!??!!?!!!

I saved it like 30 times or  more in that time just to be sure nothing could be lost along the way and HOW  COULD IT LOSE EVERYTHING AND RESTORE TO SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN  OVERWRITTEN HOURS AND HOURS AGO?!?!!!

How can I get this back?????? I  check but windows xp doesn't have any other layout.psd in the recycling bin  (since it's not deleted and more overwrote).. IS there a way to get it back??  I'm not turning off the computer tonight in case something is lost that could  have been restored.. ie.. perhaps temp files..

PLEASE  HELP!!!!!!!!!!
