Problem with HVX footage in FCP.

Alright guys, this one may take a while to explain as I've never encountered it and just describing is going to be tough.

Two months ago I shot some footage for a music video I'm doing. We're working on it whenever the band (and myself) have free time. Today I opened FCP to play around with the footage. I have a rough cut of the video going so there's edited footage in the timeline that I can view. But today I was watching the footage and saw a short clip in the timeline that I wanted to change, so I went to find the source clip in the browser only to click on it and have nothing come up in my viewer.

The clip in the timeline plays fine, but the source clip seems to have vanished. I click on it and it's just a black screen.

I search my computer for the original quicktime file, open it, and there's nothing but a white screen. This is a large piece of footage that I need, what happened?
 
Hey Jeff, I would post this in the FCP section, right place there are some great people who hang out all day there.

Hey, I appreciate the help man. Much thanks.
 
Trash FCP prefs, run Disk Utility to repair all drives, reboot.
If you open it in QT Player and it's not right, well, it's corrupt.
