Comment 14 for bug 19732

in my case I wanted to setup ubuntu 10.04 on a 7 year old pc with a 7 year old pata 80gb wd blank hdd, which was previously ntfs formated. the drive had only 1 partition, went to change its size plus turn it to swap. since I clicked ok to begin, about 30 minutes or more have passed and it is still at 61%. I believe its an operation that should complete very very fast. I though of posting this here while it is doing it next to me.
