Re-format extended data LBAs to regular mode

[NekoYuzu]

I have two INTEL SSDPD21K015TAM (Optane DC D4800X) disks that cannot work on Windows. It kept no partition table available in Windows Disk Manager. But I partitioned it in Linux with GPT and NTFS.

Linux nvme-cli shows the LBA is in 512 + 8 mode. I think that's why it can't work in Windows.

I tried:

intelmas start -intelssd [index] -psidrevert [32 characters from drive]

The message I received was:

Status : The selected drive cannot run this feature. Opal/Pyrite is not activated or is in an unknown state.

Then I tried the solution in https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/use-opal-drive-like-a-regular-drive-d5-p53...

intelmas start -intelssd [index] -nvmeformat LBAFormat=0 SecureEraseSetting=2

And the message I received was:

Status: Invalid LBA format.

Is there a way I can just use these disk as a normal LBA format, non-OPAL drive?
