I think Clover corrupted my boot partition for Windows...

I’m in a bit of a panic here - I have an SSD (512GB) that has (or I guess had) Windows installed on it, and I created a separate partition for the Hackintosh (90GB) on the same drive.

Well when I formatted the Hackintosh partition in Clover (using Disk Utility), it unmounted itself and showed itself as having zero free space, making the partition unusable for installation. Okay. That's a separate issue I've been having entirely.

So then I decided to restart my computer and go back into the BIOS to boot to Windows and format the partition again... except the Windows Boot Manager had disappeared. It seems that I no longer have my Windows boot partition. Great. Did my boot partition get corrupted somehow? What can I do to fix this? Is it only the boot manager that disappeared? Are my files okay? I’m really lost - I basically can’t use my computer anymore, which I need for work.
