Intel Optain 32GB. Nach Installation keine HDD mehr...

Hallo liebes Intel-Support-Team,

Ich habe heute meine Intel Optain 32GB erhalten und hatte sie auch sofort fürs testen eingebaut. Nachdem ich in Windows angekommen war ist mir aufgefallen, das meine 2. Festplatte (HDD) nicht mehr erkannt wird. Ich dachte mir nichts weiter dabei und dachte, das das daran liegen könnte das die Treiber noch nicht installiert waren. Nach der Installation der Treiber habe ich den PC neu gestartet und es war immer noch keine HDD zusehen im Explorer / Gerätemanger / etc. Danach habe ich nochmal die Einstellungen im Bios überprüft und habe den SATA-Controler von AHCI (glaube das wird so geschreiben) auf den Intel Optain Premium... Modus gestellt. Als ich dann meine Einstellungen gespeichert habe und wieder nach Windows wollte, kam nach mehreren Neustart nur die Meldung von Windows "INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE". Nachdem ich die Optain wieder ausgebaut hatte und den SATA-Controler wieder auf AHCI zurückgestellt habe wird alles wieder erkannt und funktioniert. (Sobald ich im Bios den SATA-Controler auf den von Intel Optain stelle verschwindet die Festplatte in den Anzeigen bei den angeschlossenen SATA-Ports).

 

Ich hoffe ihr könnt mir Helfen

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

 

Lucas

Danke für die schnelle Antwort, anbei erhalten Sie die geforderten Bilder "im Normalzustand" des PC (ohne Optain). Bilder im Zustand mit Opatin verbaut erübrigen sich da diese das selbe zeigen wie ohne Optain, nur das Anstatt das die HDD angezeigt wird nur die SSD und die Optain angezeigt.

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Hi LucasStar77,

 

 

Thank you for the information.

 

 

According to the screenshots, I can see that your booting drive is using GPT as partition style which is fine, however the secondary drive is not. It's probably using MBR as partition style which is not compatible with the Intel® Optane™ Memory and it's not compatible either with the system once you change the settings to setup the module.

 

 

What you have to do is to format the drive and initialize it using GPT instead.

 

 

Alternatively, there is also a Windows* tool that you can use to make the conversion without the need of formatting the drive. The tool is called MBR2GPT.EXE. The process using MBR2GPT.EXE is described in the following Microsoft* article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/mbr-to-gpt

 

 

There are some examples at the end of the article, but basically, the command that you have to run from the Command Prompt as Administrator is the following:

 

 

mbr2gpt.exe /convert /disk:1 /allowfullOS

 

 

Please make sure to back up any important data you may have in the drive just in case.

 

 

Additionally, the reserved unallocated space at the end of the drive is necessary in the booting drive. I can see that you have that reserved space in the secondary drive, but you have to reserve it in the primary drive as well. Actually, there is no need of this space in the secondary drive.

 

 

Please try to do this and let me know the results.

 

 

I also recommend you to check the following Gigabyte* guide to check how the BIOS settings should be set for the module to work properly: https://www.gigabyte.com/MicroSite/454/intel-optane-ready.html

 

 

I'll be waiting for your response.

 

 

Have a nice day.

 

 

Regards,

 

Diego V.

Hi LucasStar77,

 

 

If that's the case, then you would have to format the drive and then initialize it using GPT.

 

 

You can use one of the free tools described in this article to perform a low level format on the secondary drive: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000006198/memory-and-storage.html

 

 

Once the drive is formatted, it will appear in Disk Management as unallocated. Right click on the unallocated space to initialize the drive and then create a new volume. Make sure you use GPT as partition style.

 

 

If you have any questions, please let me know.

 

 

Regards,

 

Diego V.

Hi LucasStar77,

 

 

I understand you, however as your drive is using MBR partition style, the Intel® Optane™ Memory won't work with it as it's not compatible. The drive must use GPT as partition style.

 

 

Unfortunately, the only way to change the partition style is by formatting the drive and re-initializing it again using GPT partition style. As I mentioned, Windows* includes a tool to convert the drive without the need of formatting it, but this method didn't work according to your screenshot, so the only way would be formatting the drive.

 

 

I know there are free tools available to do this, but I haven't tested any of them, so I cannot recommend you a tool for this. However, considering that you prefer to not format the drive, you may want to search for some alternative tools than can convert your secondary drive from MBR to GPT. For example, the following tool may be helpful for you: https://www.easeus.com/partition-manager-software/free-convert-mbr-to-gpt-without-data-loss.html. I haven't tested that tool so I'm not sure if it'll work, so it's up to you if you want to try it. My recommendation is to back up your data before doing any changes in the drive.

 

 

Additionally, and just to confirm your drive is indeed using MBR partition style, please go to Disk Management again and double click on your secondary drive (Disk 1 according to previous screenshots) and select Properties. Then, on the Volumes tab, you can see which partition style your drive is using. You can take a screenshot of that information so that I can check it too.

 

 

Regards,

 

Diego V.

Hi LucasStar77,

 

 

If both drives are now using GPT, then you can try to enable the module.

 

 

Please follow this guide from your motherboard's manufacturer: https://www.gigabyte.com/MicroSite/454/intel-optane-ready.html

 

 

It explains which settings you should configure at BIOS. If you have any issues, please take screenshots of the BIOS settings.

 

 

You can take screenshots of the BIOS by pressing F12 or the Print Screen button. You will require a USB Flash memory connected because the images are saved there automatically. Please refer to this site for additional details about this: http://www.unboxingtreatment.com/2018/04/howto-take-screenshot-motherboard-bios.html

 

 

Additionally, please take another screenshot of the Peripherals section in your BIOS.

 

 

I'll be waiting for your response.

 

 

Have a nice day.

Hi Lucas,

 

 

If you changed the BIOS settings according to your motherboard's manufacturer and you are not able to see the secondary drive, that's most likely because your secondary drive may still be using MBR and not GPT. If the system is setup in UEFI mode and Legacy mode has been disabled, then MBR drives won't be recognized.

 

 

You can also notice that the first time you took the Disk Management screenshot, the Intel® Optane™ Memory didn't appear. That was because the system had the Legacy mode enabled, and therefore your secondary drive could be recognized. However, once the Legacy mode has been disabled and the BIOS properly configured, the Intel® Optane™ Memory is now visible but the drive that is still using MBR is not recognized because is not compatible with UEF mode.

 

 

You would have to format your secondary drive as I mentioned in a previous post so that you can initialize it using GPT instead. I understand that you don't want to format the drive to not lose your information, but that means that you won't be able to use the module with this drive because the partition style is not compatible.

Hi Lucas,

 

 

I'm just wondering if you were able to convert your secondary drive from MBR to GPT so that your system can recognize the drive.
