In my system DELL Worstation Precision T7500 the key combination to change terminals (graphicals and text one) are CTRL + ALT + F5/F4.

I am creating partitions for linux in a 500GB HD.
Yesterday I left the computer the whole night and it continues in the same 33% percentage. I reboot and retried again (and read this information about).
Now the system has about 30min in this status with the text console giving a last line as:
"Jan 18 14:49:36 partman: Found a dos partition table in /dev/sdb1"

As a note I have a Windows HD as sda with an empty partition and a second HD 500GB, with about 6 linux partitions (/, /home, etc, almost ext4, swap and just one FAT32 called babel for interchanges between OSs...
