Hi there tomacco06,
Unfortunately, it is possible that there is something wrong with the drive.
My suggestion would be to attach the drive to another, working system as a secondary drive. In case the issue persists and the whole system hangs, then the drive has failed.
In case the system does not hang, you can test the drive with some of these and see if it is in a healthy state: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility
As you are trying to reformat it, I believe you have no data stored on it right?
Cheers,
