As a test, I just converted 138MB EPUB to 162MB MOBI. Took about 8 minutes.

Open Task Manager on your PC. Check the "Applications" tab and see if calibre's status is "running". Then check "Processes" tab and see if calibre's "Working Memory" slowly changes if you watch it for a few seconds. If no signs of life, your conversion has died. Use Task Manager to stop the hung-up process.

Try again ... if it takes more than a couple hours to convert: forget it! Read the book as an EPUB!
