Chances are it won't finish at all. This is a known problem.

Start a Task Manager and have a look whether you're running on a
grinding 100% CPU. If so, you may have hit the "cannot stop the database"
bug. Check whether the database service named ccm is in state "Stopping"
without ever doing so. If this is the case, go fetch yourself kill.exe
(from the W2k resource kit), find the PID of the process in question
and kick it firmly in the head. Things will resolve magically.
Do *NOT* try to kill the PID using Task Manager. Things will only get
worse. Been there, done that, almost freaked out.
HTH,
Andre.
