Disclaimer: I'm a newbie.
I had a similar problem a few days ago where the installation would apparently "hang" at around 85% progress. It would work on the disk for a while, then nothing, then work a little again. I killed the machine and started the installation all over, and this time the installation went quickly without long pauses.
If you don't have anything to lose (and don't have other operating systems or boot partitions on that disk), then I'd recommend that you just power the machine off and on again, and start over. The installation is so quick (when it works) that it doesn't really pay off to wait too long when it seems to hang.
If the installer won't complete next time either, then perhaps there's something else wrong.
To get passed that long wait, you need to have everything in lower case. Yeah, its weird. even if you don't want a password, you still need one, also weird.
