Question:
I'd like to upgrade my hard drive to 512GB
so before that i'm trying to create recovery usb with the acer erecovery tool but unfortunately the backup failed with an error code: 0x79
and with the following error details:
The semaphore timeout period has expired.
File source: C:\OEM\Preload\OEM\Recovery\HPartition\D2D\IMAGES\WOP000990OX0EN1132.SWM File Dst: G:\IMAGES\WOP000990OX0EN1132.SWM

I tried with different usb drive but similar response:
The semaphore timeout period has expired.
File source: C:\OEM\Preload\OEM\Recovery\HPartition\D2D\IMAGES\WOP000990OX0EN1132.SWM File Dst: D:\IMAGES\WOP000990OX0EN1132.SWM


any advice?

thanks
