corrupt mission-critical file

[Ethan]

I have a virtually finished Powerpoint 2000 presentation saved on my portable
drive.
I burned the linked multimedia elements (.mpg and one .mov movies and .mid
music) to a CD-RW and started to go through the slides updating the links to
point at the CD drive.
When I tried to update a .mpg file, the program crashed and the computer had
to be reset.

Now the file won't open.

Any ideas?
