I'd suggest you use a live cd to boot your system, and before you do anything, backup all your valuable data. After you have backed up your data, run the following command in a terminal:

sudo fsck -c-y /dev/sdxX

where /dev/sdxX = your / partition.

Once the fsck command has finished running, shutdown the system, and reboot.
