'recovering Date - Please Wait'

Has anyone had a problem with the message 'recovering data  please wait'/ you then get 'it will take 1;40 to recover OK' so you do that and it then gets to the point 'you need to reformat the HD'. I have 70gb of data in the camera and want to retrieve it. Any ideas?
