I have tried several different tricks with no luck.

Can you restore an older version or change the .bak file to a .dwg?

It's not even a dwg...Open it in Notepad.

Yep, looks like something is missing. So based on what you saw in notepad can you enlighten us as to what may have happened?

That looks like a long error report, maybe something to do with a disk failure (NTLDR file corrupt or missing). Take a look here for a possible solution to the Operating System failure that you have probably had or soon will have: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318728.
