Are you missing your wallet.dat file or is it damaged? @p{par}

If it is missing, then grondilu's advice is the best anybody can do. @p{brk}
If it is damaged, then it might be possible to extract the private keys from it. @p{par}

This type of thing is why off-site backups are a really good idea... @p{brk}
