Sorry to hear this happened to you. This very thing is my worst nightmare but luckily it hasn't happened to me yet.
thanks Magnus, I hope it'll never happen to you man.
about saving what's left from the project...don't need to do so, I've found a quite nice way: I've opened the flp file with the notepad and restored all of my channels (unfortunately I didn't manage to restore the patterns/fx..so I made new ones for the drums. the melody I wrote from my memory). I worked on it from yesterday til now (finished it a couple of minutes ago) nonstop (well..7 hrs sleep ) and finally, it's almost the same..even a bit better imo
only thing I can't seem to remember is the bass effects..blah..
Rob: no I can't open the old project (the damaged file).
I feel your pain. In October I was 90% finished a track and the project file got corrupted. My most recent save had been like, months before and was more or less useless.
Now I have 4-5 different saves of everything I work on to prevent such crap from happening. Really is a shitty thing to happen =/

Drow: the file in the fl backup folder (Trash Bin) was the same as the damaged file in my project's folder..that file didn't help much.
Sean: that sux =\..excatly what happened to me..the major changes in the project were a couple of days before it got damaged, and the last backup was something like a week or two before that, so it really was useless (I changed the kick, all drums, bass, structure..)
but now that I've started the track again I have something like 13 saves (checking...nope, it's 16 saves ) of it, located in different folders.
