intel optane, incompatible hdd problem

[Andreas_42]

hello, ive bought an intel optane 16 gb

mobo is ga b250 ds3h with f9 bios drivers

my problem is that i cant enable the intel optane because it says i have incompatible hdd, problem is that error occured when i was switching around in my bios, i need help w enabling and stuff with the bios because im no extreme expert but i know some stuff.

the intel optane memory is discovered in bios as an NVMe but in windows it isnt, only detected as intel mempek

What leads to you think your motherboard is compatible with an Optane module?

 

[Andreas_42]

because it says so at the mobo box and on gigabytes site

https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/GA-B250M-DS3H-rev-10#kf

it also has settings about intel optane in bios, i just dont know how to configure them, nearly everything is as it should be except that now another error ocurred and that is that my hdd became incompatible for some reason, it wasnt before

Ah, OK.
I went straight to the Specification page, where it does not mention Optane.

What does the user manual say about the config?

can't find any solution to this myself, i need help to solve the problem that my hdd suddenly became incompatible for intel optane, it was compatible like 2 hours ago

Question from Andreas_42 : "HDD partition intel optane problem"

i got a seagate barracuda 1tb 3.5

my problem is that i have to resize it or something so there is 5mb or more at the end because intel optane says thats needed, on the intel optane memory software it keeps saying, no compatible disks for intel optane memory

Question from Andreas_42 : "Hdd is incompatible with intel optane?"

as the title says, i bought an intel optane 16gb module, i fixed the bios settings and that now my problem is why it suddenly says my hdd isnt compatible with intel optane anymore, it didnt say that before i fixed with the bios.

16 gb intel optane

motherboard: GA B250 DS3H

i3 7350k kaby lake

all my components support intel optane.

i need help because my bios doesnt have a remapping setting because i believe the problem is that my hdd needs like 5mb at the end of the hdd but i dont know how to fix with those things

Please...do not open another thread on this.

The end of the targeted SATA OS drive must contain at least 5MB of continuous unallocated space.

Download an application that is able to resize partitions:

i do know that it needs 5mb of unallocated space at the end, ive created 1000mb unallocated space but it still says that it is incompatible

Based on the picture, u should be try to change your optane slot. I was got prob like that before. But now I face can not enable my optane (error code: 0xA007000D) Sad
