Sometimes, defending on the the size of the hard disk and the speed of the computer, recovery would take long hours. But sometimes it is cause by harddisk errors or some glitch in the cpu. If you can afford to reset and redo it again, you may do so. Try to compare from the previous.Good dayTedmac

Try this software:

Touch Freeze will disable the touchpad when you start typing. I have not used it, but give it a try.

Also, your touchpad could be wearing out or a driver reinstall could be in order. My wifes Toshiba had a bad touchpad and the cursor would jump all over the place. I disabled it and she now uses an external mouse. No problems anymore.

Try moving the lid to a different position when this occurs and see if it helps.It could be the connection to the display is shorting out.Let me know if this helps as I have another suggestion
