How long should migration take?

[grewt]

I'm trying to migrate from a native winXP to my MacBook, and I'm not sure if the migration is simply taking a long time or if it's hung.

The data transfer (via firewire) took an hour or two, and then the winxp.hdd file appeared to plateau at 22GB, which is approx. the total size of the Windows hard drive. The source machine indicated the migration was complete.

8 hours later, however, transporter on the host machine was still displaying a progress meter that hadn't moved beyond about 33% of the way.

Should the migration take longer than the time it takes to transfer all the data from the source machine? If so, what's an estimate for how long that should take?

Thanks!
