CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX - never completes

I'm creating a non clustered index on SQL Server 2008 and it seems to never complete. 

USE [Live_TheName]
GO
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [iVersion] ON [dbo].[TheName] 
(
[Version] ASC
)WITH (STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE  = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS  = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS  = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

The tale has 500Mil records so there is a large number of records. 

Running this after 24 hours showed that the process was at 0%. 

Select R.Session_id,R.Command,R.Percent_complete 
From
sys.dm_exec_requests R 
Inner Join
Sys.dm_exec_sessions S 
on S.Session_id=R.Session_ID and S.IS_User_Process=1

This is a test DB, on the AWS cloud so there's nothing else using it?

Any ideas?

Thanks
