Recovering from Optane Failure

Last updated at Posted at 2017-07-31

This is a rough translation of [https://www.douban.com/note/626762420/].

One of my machine with Intel Optane Memory installed failed to upgrade to Windows 10 15063.447.
The machine stuck in a boot and BSoD loop, then it tried to boot into WinRE by itself and the result was different kinds of BSoD.

Tries to resolve the failure:

  1. Prepare a boot drive with WinPE
    sadly I failed to inject Intel RST Driver to the boot.wim with DISM++. the optane drive device was not present.
  2. Disable Fast Boot & Secure Boot
  3. Find the switch in the BIOS settings to disable Optane (Deconcatenate the Optane from HDD)
    Intel Rapid Storage Technology -> Deconcatenate
    Preserve user data on deconcatenation (Choose Enabled)
    Are you sure you want to perform deconcatenation (Choose Yes)
    Start deconcatenation
    Wait (needs about 15min? no progress, must wait patiently :) )
  4. Switch the storage mode to AHCI (important!)
  5. Boot into WinPE & Reset the EFI partition
    mountvol Z: /S; format z: /fs:fat32; bcdboot c:\windows /s z: /f UEFI
  6. Boot into Safe Mode (Press F8? repeatedly)
  7. Re-enable Optane after the system is recovered
    You may want to check the file integrity with: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth; sfc /scannow
