im installing ubuntu inside windows and its been like a good 30 - 45 minutes and i was just wondering if that was normal because it hasn't moved one bar in all that time its stuck or not stuck on creating virtual disks

comp specs are

intell core due E6850 3Ghz (OCed to 3.30Ghz)
1Gb OCZ 800mhz * 2
160GB HD 7200rpm (25GB remaining)
9600GT
don't know the mother board specs all i know is that its a fairly cheap ASUS mother board

PS its still using 100% of one of my cores

Roughly 48 hours for me with DSL, using the alternate CD.

It takes most of my systems about 20 minutes for full Ubuntu desktop i386 install with updates on a cable modem. Then about a half-hour of getting things adjusted to suit my needs :).

It takes about a week to do the same with Windows :(
