Try to boot with one of your OS X disk (holding the "c" button while it boots). When the install comes up look in the Menu (don't start the install) items for Disk Utility and the from the program, Repair the Disk. Good Luck.

Try the steps in this Apple Knowledge document. Also look at the links at the bottom of the document. Good luck.
