It depends on what type of computer and what you mean by Boot Phase. All PC's go through a POST check (power on self test). This powers up the hardware and checks the mother board components: hard drive, processor, memory etc. If a component is faulty it might prevent the boot sequence continuing. Check your BIOS for a diagnostic tool, some PC's have self test option if you press a particular key to interrupt the boot sequence.

If it is Windows that is not loading first thing to try is press F8 as soon as Windows loads. Choose Safe mode and see if it boots. Safe mode is where Windows loads but only with the minimum of software and hardware support. If the PC can't boot to Safe Mode try to do a repair using your Windows disk (installation CD or DVD). For XP run through the setup wizard and do not choose repair until the setup program finds there is an existing install, then choose to repair it, there are plenty of guides on repairing different version of Windows on Microsofts website.

The third alternative is to boot from a Windows PE disk. These Windows "Preinstallation Environment" disks can be easily downloaded and are free. They load a stripped down version of Windows from CD and can be used to look at various system logs, registry, files and folders on the host PC. They can also be used to reset passwords on machines where the local admin account password is lost. Barts PE is my favorite for XP although there are plenty going around.
