Ubuntu Partitioning

Ok when installing Ubuntu and it gets to the partitioning step, I set for a 10gb partition and it just seems to take ages. I left it for about 15 mins and it didnt finish.

Is this normal for it to take so long?

Well thanks for the reply but is there any way I can speed it up?

I havent letf it on for long enough to see if it finishes, and i'm trying to install it onto a 10gb partition on a Maxtor 150gb HDD (SATA).

Ok so I left it on for 2 1/2 hours and it still didn't do it..

Would buying a small cheap HDD do it?

It asks for the size of the partition in "MiB", what should I put?
