I assume you have not got the recovery disc'
It could be a number of things, but a faulty hard drive will cause it to stick,
If you have XP, and an XP disc, you can try loading it to do a repair, in case its a boot problem- however, I would try the discs, to do a non destructive recovery.

In the first repair option on an XP disc, you go to command propt, and type in fixboot, press enter, then type in fixmbr, press enter, then type in exit, and reboot to se if that fixes it.
In Vista, or, Windows 7, you have different command.Fully explained here by Microsoft
