I decided to reinstall my OS. Again. The damn installer has been stuck on "Installing Network- Setup Will Complete In Approx- 32 Minutes" for the past two hours. Is there anything I can do, and save my files in the process?

why did you decide to reinstall - maybe related.

was it a repair install or a new install? You can unplug the computer and it will stop but as far as your files, you may or may not be able to recover. Really will not know until you boot the first time.
