That sounds like a damaged boot loader which starts the wrong entry (in your case the recovery procedure instead of Windows).

First you should get a Linux Live CD and a USB key (or USB HDD) to save your data.
Then you could try to fix the boot loader with a Windows installation disk and the recovery console. Unfortunately I'm not a Windows expert, but you should find how-tos via Google.
If the recovery doesn't work you'll have to reinstall Windows, which is why you saved your data on an external medium.
