DMA doesn't affest USB.

Is the drive connected to a USB 2.0? The slow transfers of USB 1.1 may be causing your semaphore timeouts.

Check what? That you're drives are set for DMA?

To ensure your drives are operating in DMA mode: (1) Control Panel, (2) System, (3) Goto the Hardware Tab, (4) Device Manager, (5) IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, (6) Right Click on Primary IDE Channel --> Properties, (7) Goto the Advanced Settings Tab, Make sure both drop down boxes say 'DMA if Available', Click OK,(8) Right Click on Seconady IDE Channel --> Properties, (9) Goto the Advanced Settings Tab, Make sure both drop down boxes say 'DMA if Available', Click OK, (10) Reboot.

You may need to look in BIOS for further configurations

How do I determine what version of USB I'm using?
