How long does this process take? from say, 'Copying installer files to disk...' every mac is different but if you have an estimated time (im on a relatively new 2013 macbook pro) Just wondering if the install is failing or hanging . . .

Lots of ways to watch this. One suggestion is to bring up a Finder window, highlight the 'Install OS X El Capitan' volume, make sure you are in file 'list' mode, and keep an eye on the file size.
