Hard drive format hung or nomal?

[Kallb123]

I am formatting 320GB 7600RPM Western Digital and it has been at 1% for over 50 minutes. Is this normal, will it jump up quickly soon or will take 1 hour for each percent? If this isnt supposed to happen and its hung then how can I stop it to restart it without causing any problems. The drive is brand new like everything else in the PC.
