System Recovery is stuck

[Guest Jay]

I had to do a system recovery.

It's stuck at "Installing Windows" with "34 minutes left" for the past hour.

 

What should I do? Everything was going just fine until this point.

 

The install CD is still in the drive and I haven't touched anything.

Provide some useful info, make/model of PC, are these the OEM provided

recovery disks? Procedure your using to recover, reason your performing

recovery.

OK it's working.

 

I just ejected the CD rebooted and put the CD back in once the recovery

asked for it.

The installation finished and everything is fine.

 

Thanks for your suggestions
