Weird screen when I turned on phone?

I have a Samsung galaxy discover phone . turned it on to go for a walk . Had a weird screen come up . picture of the android robot on screen and it said to use the the up down arrows to select what i want , said something like reboot or select from casche or from external hard drive or a few other things i didn't know what to do so i tried to turn it off pushed the power button and the samsung logo came up and it turned on . don't know much about this stuff any ideas what it was trying to do .
Thanks

Re: Weird screen when I turned on phone?

Sounds like you started it in recovery mode by pressing the volume key while also pressing power-on. That mode is used when you're flashing custom software, manually installing an update, performing a factory reset, etc.
