Ok thanks for your attention, Diego.

 

Finally i found the way to solve that.

First, i try to change back sata mode from RST optane to AHCI. Then i clean up the module from cmd > diskpart > list disk > select disk (choose the number of the optane module) > clean.

 

After that, i change sata mode to RST OPTANE. and then voila, i solve my problem

Hi BAP,

 

Thank you for posting in the Intel® communities.

 

I understand you cannot setup the module in your laptop after re-installing Windows*. Considering the fact that your laptop included the Intel® Optane™ Memory and that it was working fine before, I highly recommend you to contact the laptop manufacturer to get proper assistance on configuring the module.

 

Laptop systems are not the same as Desktop computers, they usually include special features at BIOS and OS level that we are not aware of, so before doing any system change, we highly recommend to contact the manufacturer.

 

Having said this, I can try to give you some general suggestions to check based on your description. First, I would like to know if you disabled the module from the application before re-installing the OS. 

 

Additionally, is the module recognized in Disk Management? 

 

I can try to help you with the configuration, but please keep in mind that it’s better to contact Acer* in this case to receive proper assistance for your system.

 

Please download the Intel® System Support Utility (SSU) from the following site and run it to collect your system information? Please run the full report and attach the text file in your response: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25293/Intel-System-Support-Utility-for-Windows-

 

Additionally, please go to Disk Management and take a screenshot of the window. You can open Disk Management by pressing the Windows* key + x, and the selecting the Disk Management option from the menu that will appear.

 

Finally, please follow these steps to take another screenshot:

 

  1. Open your command prompt as Administrator.
  2. Run the command diskpart.
  3. Run the command list disk. Please take a screenshot of this output and share it in your response too.

 

I will be waiting for your response.

 

Have a nice day.
