DELETE/TRUNCATE a table of 10,000 records is taking more than a minute

Hi everyone,
I have a table of 10,000 ++ records with no links keys or foreign
constraints; but a truncate table or a delete from takes more than a
minute to execute or the query analyser just hangs but the timer @. the
bottom corner is running.
What would cause it to take so long to truncate a table?
Please advise.
Thanks
Can you check (sp_who2) to see if the process is being bklocked. If so you
can use dbcc inoutbuffer (spid) to see what the blocking process is doing.
