Hello,
If you choose to repair, then all your personal data will be ok (even in this case, a back-up is recomanded).
If you choose recovery to factory settings, all data will be lost. Not sure in your case when you have 2 drives (C: and D:) because usually you have only C:. This process will format your drive and reinstall Windows as a brand new copy. Therefore, a back-up copy of your data is mandatory.
I recommend you to take a USB stick and install there a copy of Ubuntu or other Linux distribution with Live option (bootable). Boot from you usb stick and choose Live option. You will enter Linux (e.g. Ubuntu) without making any changes to your PC and there you will be able to access your HDD and make a copy of your data.
Let me know if you need further help.
