there doing nothing for 1hr.
so you reformatted to NTFS and then went on to install Ubuntu onto the
NTFS and it stalled ? Or the reformat balked ?
Your OP said "it gets so far through the formatting" so I'm confused.
If it is formatted you could chkdsk /f it from Windows to see if it is
happy.
Why not wipe the partition with Gparted and repartition it then format
Ext3 or similar ?
