Restore then from backups is the easiest way. If not and they are system files you can boot to liveCD and download debs, extract the debs and reinstate the file.

You can also try (from live cd):

sudo fsck -a /dev/partitionnamehere

replace partitionnamehere with the actual partition in question. E.g:

sudo fsck -a /dev/sda1

the -a switch tells the checker to (a)utomgically fix the bad data (if it can).

Can you help with this problem?
