How far along is the syncing? it can sometimes take a while. You can enter the address you gave and enter it at a site like blockchain.info and it can tell you whether they actually sent the coins or not.

If you didn't delete the wallet.dat you are fine.

If you didn't delete the wallet.dat you are fine. Copy wallet.dat to removable media right now, less can go wrong if you do that.
