My HD was full. So I deleted the biggest files related to file vault. After that i disabled the file vault option in security preferences, and restarted the machine. When i tried to connect again, appear the message"error in file vault". I read in some mac support posts that the procedure was the opposite, so I would have to disable file vault before to delete the big files with 8M each. How can I fix that now???
Message: File Vault ERROR, when I login. How can I fix that????

Was there any error when you turned off Filevault? If there was an error at the end of turning it off, it didn't manage to finish turning it off - never ever shut down a Mac when Filevault is being turned off, and the process hasn't finished successfully, or if there was an error in the process.
You could try these methods for repairing the image:

Also perhaps a good time to remind about the importance of having regular backups of your user data. But - fingers crossed that we get all your user data back successfully.
