You can try this site

It might help you decrypt the files. File recovery most likely won't help. 
(Unless you can 'recover' from a cloud based backup!)

I've had this problem before. IIRC, you can match up the ata17.00 with what 
drive it's talking about by looking at your kernel boot messages. The first 
thing I would do is switch out the SATA cable and see if the problem persists. 
If that doesn't work, run a scan of the drive using the manufacturers scan 
program.
