I had this same problem yesterday after upgrading to 7.10.

Then after reading this post I noticed that mine too was hanging for at
least 10 minutes while checking /dev/fd0.  As I new GParted on 7.04 used
to start swiftly on my system, I immediately assumed a bug in GParted.
(It was also slow using the 7.0 live cd)

I don't have a floppy drive, but then I remembered I did add one
temporarily a little while ago and removed it again.

It turned out after disconnecting it, I had forgotten to disable it in
the bios.  Setting floppy in the bios to none fixed it.
