But now i canno't detected my 2TB HDD in windows at all. I detect it in the BIOS but in windows, even in disk management, i don't see it at all.

Should i reinstall the optane memory in another m.2 slot and try to disable it? Can i recover my data after my big mistake?

Hi every one, thanks for the answers, but i just reinstalled my optane in the same m.2 slot and placed my NVME in the second m.2 spot i have on my motherboard. Everything works fine and like expected.
