Restart the computer. That's way too long. Is it hung up, or is it asking you to restart the computer?
I havn't installed Windows in a while, but I believe there' s a couple points where it's like "System will restart automatically in 10, 9, 8, etc. seconds." unless you do something or restart yourself first.

A big disk can slow it down a lot.
Usually you can cycle power and the installer will pickup where it left off. Usually.
On a fast PC the install should complete in 1-2 hours.

If you have low ram or used Hdd it could take a long time . Ive had them take hours to install.
