Need more info. What exactly does it do when it's on the loading screen? "Won't go past" isn't very descriptive.

And I'm not a grammar whore or anything, but please use punctuation.

I would think you have a bad Boot Sector. You can use the windows XP disk to go to the repair console and try to repair the boot sector. Or just reinstall windows from scratch.

Have you hit F8 at boot up and tried to go into Safe Mode? What about hitting F8 and trying to use system restore to an earlier safe boot time?
