If Windows won't start, you are unable to access anything unless you happen to have made a boot disk when you got your PC.
If you have a boot disk, you may be able to at least get files you want and cut/copy/paste to a CD, flashdrive, or external hard drive. Then, I see no other option than to uninstall and reinstall Windows.
