I doubt that it's a corrupted file system, it's merely hidden directories. 
  If you go into windows explorer and change the settings so it shows you 
Hidden, System, Operating System, etc files you should now be able to see 
those dirs from windows explorer.  I don't think that will affect the 
command prompt behavior that you've found but that behavior is not unusual 
for when  directories are marked System or Hidden.
