Might need to search your hard drive for them. I assume that even if iTunes is buggy enough to mess up your library it wouldn't physically remove Gigabytes worth of data on a whim. I assume then that your music is just located on another place on your drive, or another drive all together.
You have a couple options.
First, I would search your hard drive for audio files. Enter '*.MP3' or '*.AAC' as your search parameters and it should point you to where some of your files are. Make sure you include external, or secondary hard drives and all their partitions if they exist.
If those searches return nothing and if you have a set up a backup of your data, created by Windows Backup (Windows Vista or 7) you could restore the iTunes folder to the point right before you did the install. I personally have never done a data restore from it, but it seems like it should be pretty straight forward.
Control Panel --> Backup and Restore. Then you would go through the options to select the folder to restore.
NOTE: If this backup restore works like any other version of NTBackup I have used, if you restore the folder it will just overwrite the old folder, so I would just rename the old one to be sure you don't lose anything before you do the restore.
