Hanging, circle of death, gray not responding was a failing audio drive.

PSA:

Out of the blue it seemed I couldn't monkey around with CbB too long without the aforementioned Hanging, circle of death, gray not responding conditions. Suspecting a failing data spinner drive I ran a chkdsk /r on it and saw it pause, looking at a block for about 10 minutes before continuing on without relocating or flagging it. So today I copied the files to a new drive and the Hanging, circle of death, gray not responding seem gone and I did everything I could to try and make it do it again.

Sometimes it really is a hardware failure...
