[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1804853, member: 131855"] I've had that happen a few times with Apple installers. It has probably een long enough for whatever files were being written. It's probably safe to force the machine to shut down using the power button. Once that's done, remove the High Siera theumb drive and turn the machine on to see if it boots. Don't use the Option key just let the boot process happen normally. If the boot process begins it may take onger than usual to complete. This could be due to changes made during the install process and cleaning up any directory issues that may have been created by forcing the Mac to power down. [/QUOTE]
