hi, i am trying to copy a folder with 4 items in it to my SD card. when i copied it, the green status green bar runs until it stops at about 80%, it kept on staying there for 15 minutes until an error popped up "error 0x80070079" as seen in the attachment.
can anyone help me fix this problem?
Here are a couple of explanations:
Error 0x80070079: The semaphore timout period has expired.
Error 0x80070079: The semaphore timeout period has expired.
But this one has a work around:
Error 0x80070079: the semaphore timeout period has expired - TechSpot OpenBoards
Just lock the Card.

hi anak, i have locked the card and tried to copy it to the SD card but it says "write-protection".
i tried copying the file to the SD on my other computer and it worked. but why don't it work in this one?
According to the first link I gave you: Error 0x80070079: The semaphore timout period has expired.Your hard disk may have some file system errors or bad sectors.This message usually indicates that a hard disk controller driver is waiting for an overlapped read/write operation to complete. It’s due to problems with a faulty hard disk controller driver or possible hard disk drive hardware problems.

So lets try this to rule out those possibilities:
Disk Check
Try to pick a time that allows you to run this procedure un-interrupted because it can take a while to run.
SeeWarning
After step 4, go to step 10c, and post results, good or bad.
after i scanned my C drive with the 2 options unchecked, these are my results:
Okay, we've eliminated any Hard disk drive hardware problems.
Let's concentrate on a faulty hard disk controller driver. There is not much in your SystemSpecs to try and identify what you have.
We need the Compaq model number, and a model number from the motherboard.
Look in Device Manager, and for something like a SATA AHCI Controller
what are the dates there?
Run belarc.com to give you info on your machine. There will be a category for Hard Disk controllers.
Post back and we'll see what drivers we can get for an update.
