I have quite a major problem, I was mapping nuketown and with radiant open, uninstalled my and drivers and reinstalled them to a newer version. But after I restarted I realised my .map file was empty, nothing in the file whatsoever except "iwmap 4" on the first line.

I really just need any ideas you guys have to help get this file back, maybe from the autosave files are some were considering I had it open about 30 minutes ago. Really stressing right now $:-\$

Did you try opening a backup file?

Hmm, doesn't sound good. $:-\$ Didn't you make backups in another folder or something? You might need to work off Radi's version

Well if you didn't do anything else (computer wise) you could try to revert your computer to a previous backup (of the entire computer)

I have a restore point from 2 days ago, but it says it dosen't affect files, only programmes so it would be no use

Right click on the map file and then Properties, then Previous Versions and see if Windows made a back up of it:

As you can see for my map it's over a week out of date but it's better than loosing an entire map.

That's the first thing I tried, but there is no previous versions

I don't know if this will work for your .map file but it's saved my life a few times:

Sorry to hear that, man $:-\$ This is the exact reason why you always, always, always make backups. What does this mean for the progress of nuketown?
