Fortunately I haven't experienced your problem as yet. I would first
go to the MacFixit website.

See what experiences others have had and what remedies they suggest.
As a longer term solution you may need to get a disk repair utility
like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior which may be able to recover your
files. And then there is always backup :(
