As another user said, please provide more details. Are you still able to run OS X? How are you trying to access these OS X files? What type of files are you missing?
Also, you may wish to edit your title. "Help!!" gives absolutely no indication what type of problem you are having.

So, did anything else get deleted, or was it just some Final Cut files? Maybe something got screwed up when you partitioned the drive with Boot Camp.

Korki,
How many partitions did you have before running bootcamp?
Where were these files located? Where they one the OS X partition?
As the warning states, resizing partitions can screw things up. In the event that your data were lost during the resizing exercise, you can try to recover it with some file recovery software such as this:

I believe that the demo lets you know what can be recovered, and you have to buy the full version in order to recover those files.

Well when you went partitioning did you make sure you only picked the one partition already created by boot-camp(same size as selected)? You are not suppose to delete any partitions.
