If a drive has bad blocks, then Windows will appear to hang while it
repeatedly retries the affected reads or writes. If a drive doesn't
spin up, then the BIOS may appear to hang while it is waiting for it
to do so. Eventually it should time out and move on.

I have two Fujitsu drives that have a faulty Cirrus Logic IC. This
model series featured in a law suit. The failure symptoms are
sometimes as you describe, while at other times I will get reams of
bad blocks which come good on the next try.
