Unfortunately, it looks like you're going to have to re-install Windows. I know you said you don't have the CD, but you're gonna have to get one from somewhere cause it looks like that's the only option you have right now :(

BTW, if you're worried about losing all your stuff, you don't have to. You can just repair the installation.

Did you tried any other option instead of "Start windows normally", because that's what those other menu items are for, to use when you had problems starting up

If you plan on formatting... then you could always pull out your hdd and connect it into someone else's computer. Boot-up with their normal configuration (i.e. their hdd) and copy files from your hdd to their hdd, then just burn everything onto dvd/cd (or burn directly instead of copying).
