    What is meaning of "semaphore timeout" message
    Thanks to seahwk83 I now have an external drive that is now recognised by my computer. The follow on problem is that I cannot get into it. It is there within 'my computer' but when I try to access the local drive, the computer displays a dialogue box saying - "J:/ is not accessible The Semaphore time out period has expired" What does this message mean?

    I do not know this is related but I was running a full systems virus scan (Nortons 2008) which also timed out.
