Stuck on Gathering flies step of installation?

I've been stuck at 0% on the "Gathering files" step during Installation. I
did alt-ctr-del and saw that it was still running (didn't have a Not
Responding). I don't want to kill it because it took forever to get through
the compatability check, etc.

Is it stuck? Or could this be normal?

Meant to say that it's been stuck at 0% for about an hour and a half.

It could be normal, it took all day to upgrade my work PC

Hello. Did you get this figured out? I ran my computer all night and it was
stuck in the same place. Thanks
