It may have been that the drive was detected, but was not responding
to the request for drive information. The system will hang for a
long time waiting for the drive to spin up and respond. You can run
into the same problem when the BIOS is set to a specific drive
size/type, and you remove that drive. I have also seen it happen
when you put in too large of a drive for the controller.
