    You should check your hard drive with a program like Diskwarrior or Techtool Pro. If this problem happens again try running disk utility on your hard drive this should fix your start-up problem.

    Disk Warrior is an expensive and specialized application whose only use is to try to recover data from a damaged volume that Disk Utility can't repair, and for which there are no backups. It's not a maintenance tool; it's a recovery tool. If you have adequate backups — which means multiple backups — you’ll never need a recovery tool, and therefore Disk Warrior is useless to you. If you don't back up, you'll eventually lose all your data, and Disk Warrior won't be able to save you. Don't waste money on it or anything like it. Spend the money on backup drives instead.

     

    TechTool is completely useless for any purpose.
