Dec 6, 2009 9:39 AM in response to konrinnby BDAqua,Hi konrinn, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this since it is Disk Problems likely...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? -

Quite a lot i think around 300GB left I supose
And may I ask another question that if I repair the disk, will the original files and date in the disk be gone?
Thank you again -

Hopefully not, in fact it should prevent further loss, but it's always possible that with a Hardware problem like RAM or HD going out that it could get worse, most often it'll be better though. -
