How long did the black screen last when installing Windows via Bootcamp?

I'm doing this for the nth time now but because it's been so long I've forgotten how long it's supposed to take.

I ran Bootcamp assistant, and installed the windows disc. Next up is a black screen, with a flashing cursor in the top left corner.

Been like that for 15 mins. Has it crashed or is it normal? It's on a brand new MBP so I'd expect it to be faster than when I used to do it on older MBPs

Not normal, time to hard reset. It's a known issue.

Google something like "bootcamp windows black screen cursor" and you'll find that you're not alone. I had this issue during my last install. My solution was to powerdown, restart, and go again.

Ah alright thanks for that. I'll reset it now!
