I had a problem with blue screens in Windows, as well as a major malware infestation, and removed the windows partition in anticipation of reinstalling windows on a clean drive. I read up extensively on how to do this, as it is my first time installing windows on a macbook. The removal of the partition went clean and quickly.
Now I am trying to create a new partition on a single drive. I selected 32GB and it started to partition the disk. But the little blue bar has been stuck at around 1-3% for the last hour. I'd read this is a process that should take a few minutes to ten at the most.
Is there a non-destructive way to cancel the partition while in progress? Is there anything else I should do to check to see if there is a problem? Otherwise, I would just try again...
Thanks for any advice,
Neko.
