Ok so I have a lite on iHAS424 flashed to burn XGD 3 games. On my hp laptop running Windows Vista using IMGburn it work perfectly fine. Now I bought a brand new ASUS with Windows 7 and im using IMGburn but its giving me and error after 2% stating THE SEMAPHORE TIMEOUT PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. Both PC's are laptops and the Lite on drive is hooked up through a SATA to USB connection. Can Someone help me out??? Sorry I dont have a log in order to get the log ill have to waste another disc and there expensive.

I wonder if going via a powered USB hub would make a difference?

 

Failing that, I assume your new laptop doesn't have an eSATA or you'd already be using it?

 

You could get an (e)SATA ExpressCard and plug it into that... or maybe just another USB one - as the semaphore timeout seems to just be a weird glitch between USB chipsets.

Curious.

 

Have you seen any semaphore issues on USB 3.0 devices?
