Error 0xA0040008 When Trying to Enable Optane on Secondary Drive (EDIT: FIXED!!!!!)

[SPlaz]

Hello, I've been having some trouble trying to Enable my Optane 32gb chip on my computer.

I have installed the drivers and even updated the firmware, but when I try and enable it on my secondary drive (6TB HDD), I always get this error: 0xA0040008

However, I have tried formatting and deleting the volume before enabling it, and I found that if it had no volume on it, the enabling would go for a few seconds and then throw the error, while if it was formatted it would throw the error immediately.

My Machine's Specs (Just to make sure there are no incompatibilities):

Intel i7-8700K

Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E Motherboard (Updated to newest BIOS)

MSI Gaming X GTX 1080 Ti

Windows 10 Home 64-Bit

Toshiba X300 6TB HDD

WD Black 256GB M.2 SSD

G.SKILL 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3000 RAM

Intel Optane 32GB

Again, everything works perfectly, until I click Enable for Optane, in which after a few seconds it says there was an error.

I've attached my logs of the Optane Memory program, any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: 6/18/18

I have managed to get my Intel Optane to boost my data drive, the problem was that Windows 10 automatically put my drive into a storage pool, which Optane can NOT boost (wish that was easier to find info).

What I had to do was backup my data drive, delete the storage space, format my data drive, and transfer all of the data back, but now Optane is successfully enabled.
