Installation of ECC 6.0 on vmware

Question

Dear Team,
I am trying to install ECC 6.0 on VMware workstation, to simulate existing environment.
I have an external HDD of 500 GB out of which I have reserved 290GB for ECC installation.
The VM has 3 GB of memory allocated.
Operating system: windows 2003 sp2
DB: sql 2005, I have verified that tables have been created using sql 
JRE 1.4.2_16
In VMware:
I have created C drive with 10 GB , and rest of the space D drive for database files and usr folder.
Installation kicked off well, without errors, I mean there were errors which said " if its a warning you can ignore.
I not able to see any progress in the installation, because logs are not being updated.
The installation GUI is responding well , however its not proceeding further. It has been 6 days that installation has started.
I am sure that ECC will take some time, but I hope not 6 days. Where to check the progress ? which logs do I need to verify?
Is it normal that on VMWare it will take so long time?
Need expert advice.
Regards

Uday,
last few lines on the sapinst_dev.log:
do the lines "Drive for node 'H:\ECC6.0_installation_software\ECC60 Inst Export-1\EXP2' is not connected. Returning path."  indicate an error , what could be missing, some files in the dump?
