unable to access a folder on an external hard drive

[Guest]

Hello
I am un-able to access a folder on my external hard drive, i can access all
the other folder but not this one.
It does give me an error message it says: E:\folder is not accessible. The
semaphore timeout period has expired.
Does anyone know what is causing this?

Thanks.

Not much on this error condition except for networking problems. See if the
info in this post helps:

I suspect that it probably won't because only one folder of many is
involved.

Ownership problem? If you try to access the problem folder when logged
in as Administrator does anything change?

Thanks for the response John
That did not seem to work, i think the drive must be packing up.
