Did you try shutting down your machine?
My 500 Caviar did the same thing to me once.
Got me a little nervous, but all I had to do was shut everything down, remove power source, plus the power back in, and turn it on.
Note: did not work w/o unplugging power source, wouldn't even recognize the HDD.

no fixes for this although if you put it in an antistatic bag in the freezer for an hour or so it may start long enough for you to retreive some files
