Yuusharo Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I solved most of my problems by using IDE. I honestly have yet to see the advantage of ACHI. Let me ask you, are your hard drive icons the standard icon, or is it displaying like orange disks?

zeba Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yep, they're orange. But I guess they're suppose to be that when in ACHI mode.. Feels stupid to go and buy IDE HDDs for a totally new machine.. Hopefully there is some other solution!

zleee Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 For orange HDD icons, read this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/i...php/t91834.html AHCI works great on my P35-DQ6, and Leo boots in ca 15 sec (compared to 40-60 sec with AHCI off). Didn't had any issues with iTunes, but I'll give it a go when I get home...

zeba Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 thanks for helping me out, the only thing I found about error -48 had something to do with the ipod and its partition.. and by google i found some thread about vista+ahci+itunes not good.. I'm trying to have my iTunes Library on my 2nd partition, it's a NTFS partition, but I have installed Paragon, so that I have r/w permissions on that drive.. My OsX partition isn't so big..so would like to have the library on the other partition.. //zeb Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94355-possible-to-get-itunes-to-like-ahci-mode/#findComment-673271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabe_ Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Just a shot in the dark... But, the issue may be with having the library on the NTFS partition. I have AHCI enabled on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 and have zero issues with my iTunes library on a OSX HFS partition.

zeba Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 You got it man I finally came to the same conclusion.. Now I have spent half a day moving and formatting the partition.. I had Paragon installed, and had r/w permissions on the NTFS partition so I didn't believe that was the problem.. Well, now it's solved, hate you NTFS Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94355-possible-to-get-itunes-to-like-ahci-mode/#findComment-673534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
