Crystal - Martin's answer is correct.
Did you first try the power OFF, power ON, Function key F8 ? Did a simple menu appear, mentioning "recovery" ?
A Microsoft Installation CD will ask you the same questions. Do you wish to Recover ?
Recovery will try and save your documents, photos, eMail, etc.
Re-Installation will be your LAST resort.
You will need a Installation CD (may be a DVD) to go further.
A 'geek' friend, or the 'guru' at the local PC repair shop would be your best bet.
We cannot tell you how to make an installation disk, without more information.
