When Trying to Activate my Intel® Optane Memory, How Can I Fix the Error Message: No Compatible Disk?

The data was all lost the first time it was activated, and now an error message "no compatible disk" appears every time I try to activate it using the Intel® Optane software. The Enable option is grayed out.
