If you do find the file but Word says it's corrupted, there is a possible solution. OpenOffice does a great job of opening corrupted Word files. Within the past year a Microsoft exec was giving a speech and his file locked up and couldn't open. As he went on talking an MS guy in the back was able to load up the file using OpenOffice and re-saved it as a .doc -- that often does the trick.
OpenOffice both saves and loads Word .doc, and is free and open-source:
