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.
