Just a hunch but with Nvidia proprietary drivers at some point in a successful boot a full screen Nvidia logo appears for a second. In my case when the boot fails that never happens - it freezes at the point right before I would normally see the logo, so I think it may be video driver(?). A funny thing is in my XP partition when I boot I had problems too  until I when back to an an older driver - just guessing...

Not that any of the information below is specific to you, but I have had 
2 issues which caused Xubuntu to not boot.

1.  The video drives, as you said
2.  Bad drive

I'd suggest booting to the recovery to check the drive.  Then there if 
you continue to have problems, you may uninstall the nvidia drivers. 
I'm still trying to find the docs on how to do that.
