Sorry to say I it appears your partition process is definitely hung. Partitioning time normally will not take more than a minute or so at the outside.
Yes, sorry. Hung in this context would be shorthand for a process that has gotten hung up- or stuck would be appropriate too.

are you using os x disk utility in /Applications/Utilitys/DiskUtility.app ?
if so, and u are trying to partition your drive, you need to use your os x disk.
or is this boot camp?

Only a few seconds, well under one minute. A partition table is only a few bytes long.
