    I'm getting a failure backing up the D: drive. C: works fine. A check of the disk shows no errors. The only change in the system was the upgrade to Windows 7.

    Backup of volume D: to RAYHAYES-MEDIA failed: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80070079): The semaphore timeout period has expired. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070079)

    Hi Ray,
    what is on that drive?
    Sometimes the easiest way would be to move the data out and reformat the drive.
    chkdsk /f /r should be executed from a command prompt started as Administrator.
    Best greetings from Germany
    Olaf
