Installation ABAP import phase problem

Question

Dear Friends,
I am installing ABAP application server within Netweaver 7.02 which has been downloaded from this site on  my LAPTOP.
Phases 1 -15 took about 2 hrs to install.
After that it entered Phase 16 i.e Import ABAP and it has gone on for more that 12 hrs.
Of the 37 processes in this phase the last 2 doesn't complete. One is shown as running and other is waiting.
My Laptop has around 320GB HDD(100 GB free) 4 GB RAM of which only 3GB is usable as it as 32 bit OS,2.4 GHZ Core 2 Duo
processor and Windows Vista.
I think it is abnormal to continue for so long.
It does not show any error message nor any problem in the log.
What is the problem?
Pls advise.
Thamk for your efforts.

Hi Sunny,
"Speed of this phase depends on number of things:
1) How many number of parallel jobs you have selected in sapinst ?
2) 4 GB of RAM is not much. So, it will take time."
1)How do I check the number of parallel jobs?
I think only one job is running because in the taskbar for the Installer it shows:
Import job Monitor: Running 1, Waiting 1, Failed 0, Completed 35, Total 37
The phase is Import ABAP and it has several jobs i.e threads of which only one is running.
2) Of the 4 Gb RAM only 3 GB is usable by Windows as it is 32 bit.Now of this Memory utilization is 65- 70%.
CPU utilization is 10-15%.
Since resource utilization is very less it is taking enormous amount of time.
As per documentation installation on a Laptop should not take more than 8 hrs but it has taken double the time i.e 16 hrs.
How much more time will it take?
Is there any way to speed it up ?
Thanks.
