Bootcamp Stuck on "Partitioning Disk"

I tried to get Bootcamp installed but after it got to "Partitioning Disk", it suddenly slowed to a crawl. I've left my MacBook on throughout the night and it's still barely made any progress when I woke up. Disk Utility shows that although there aren't any new partitions, the free space is SLOWLY (and by that I mean slowly) getting smaller and smaller, which probably means the partition is slowly being created. Is there anything I can do to fix this/speed it up?
