You should press f8 repeatedly throughout start up. This should hopefully bring up the XP boot menu. You can choose different types of start up. Software or hardware issues can cause this so it can be hard to diagnose. Has it happened recently? If so, boot into safe mode and then do a system restore to a date whjen it worked. if that fials. Post what happened in here.
