Intel optane memory 32GB Error Code: 0xA0050055

[JRuru]

Hello,

My laptop MSI GL63 8SE have a problem to enable intel optane memory 32GB to accelerated the second HDD drive (Error Code: 0xA0050055)

What should i have to do ?

[AlHill]

Either your bios is not setup correctly, or optane is not supported on your laptop.

Contact MSI support for further assistance.

In my bios setup (SATA Mode Selection) already choose : Intel RST Premium With Intel Optane System Acceleration.

Thanks for the advice

1. On the Disk Management image I can see that the Optane Memory Module showing "Not Initialized" state and should be "Online".
2. Right-click the drive marked "Not Initialized," and select Initialize Disk.
3. Select GPT (GUID Partition Table) and press OK

The disk status is now online (GPT) but still not working.

Thanks

1. Could be that there are some residual data on your Optane memory.
2. Uninstall your Optane Memory Software and reboot your computer.
3. Right mouse click on Start and then on open Windows PowerShell (Admin). In this window, execute the following commands (press on enter after each command):

• diskpart
• list disk
• select disk 2 (I'm assuming that your Optane drive is #2 as I can see in the attached image of Disk management. Please verify this in the Command Prompt, otherwise drive with your data will be wiped).
• clean all
• exit

Reinstall the Optane Software and enable Optane Memory.

Please save image of Optane Memory Software screen, before enabling Optane.

In case of failure, please attached image before and after trying enablement.

Hai Leon,

I follow your instruction above, clean all disk 2 (intel optane) in windows power shell (admin), but still Error Code: 0xA0050055

You are awesome dude, this is worked also for me. And I sign-up just to thank you. So, THANK YOU.. 

[AlHill]

You are still in SATA mode, correct? That will not work.

Hi Doc,

So what should i do ?

I'm confuse

You cannot be in SATA mode.

I am reluctant to have you do anything at this point, as it may require you to reinstall the OS, which would also mean backing up your data.

I agree with Al that manipulating with SATA mode, may cause you to lose your SSD. So, in first place you should prepare a disk backup (image). In the second place as Al advises, you should ask the MSI what to do.

About the SATA mode your laptop is currently set, I think that this is correct mode for Optane Memory (i.e. Intel RST Premium With Intel Optane System Acceleration). The normal SATA mode is AHCI for work without Optane. There are also other posibilities to set RAID or IDE modes for SATA.

Be aware, if you will try to change the SATA mode now, you will lose your system SSD unless, before doing this you should change Windows boot mode to SAFE. If you will boot into Bios while Windows is in SAFE mode, after changing the SATA mode, Windows will not be corrupted. However, you should have full backup of your disk before you are doing this and best ask MSI how to proceed.

Did you reinstall the OS to remove the recovery partition?

[LeonWaksman]

@Adam5k 

Use diskpart utility from the Administrative Command Prompt to delete the Recovery Partition.
