    DISKPART Clean All taking too long


    Hi, i'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate x86 on an HP 430 laptop.
    The Windows installer can't find the laptop's hard drive so (as a solution I found while googling) I tried DISKPART's clean and clean all functions.
    The clean function finished quickly but the clean all has been going on for more than 24 hours now.
    Is it supposed to take this long?
    The laptop has a ~500gb hard drive and an i3 processor.

    Takes about 300gb a hour.


    I would Check the hard drive with the manufacturer's diagnostic tools.

Why is this. Like 10 minutes plus and it still says recycling. It should only take a second. Is it bad to let it continue at its own pace or should I restart the PC and try it again?
