Something that's worked for me is to enable memory dump triggered by
ctrl-ctrl-scroll-lock. There's some registry key you set, and on the
next hang you can generate a memory dump, which you can then analyze
with windbg.
Of course, your hang might well occur earlier than disk driver
initialization, so this is not bulletproof.
