Glad you got it started! I had something very similar, if not exactly the same, happen to my desktop. I got to chose a repair option which basically sets your computer back to the way it was when you first got it (new). However, it also copied everything that was on my computer and after starting up - restored absolutely everything.
One thing though - I of course, didn't save everything like. I do advise you not to shut your computer off until you can save everything you want to keep. Then shut it down as you normally would. My computer very shortly after this (within a week I believe), froze on startup again. After a few tries of starting it up again with no sucess, I decided to restore it again since it worked the first time.
The computer went though the motions, and then - froze at the the welcome window. I had to force the computer to restart again and it did start up right away. However, I lost everything. Since it had frozen at startup when I was attempting to restore things, the computer had not reached the point where it put all my stuff back on to it.
