I am fairly new to computers so excuse any terminology mistakes I make.
I had a PC running Windows 10 with Intel Optane Memory setup. For reference, I didn't really know about this or what it was before.
It's a 1 TB hard drive, so I thought I might partition it and try to dual-boot with Ubuntu 20.04 and Windows. However, I ran into a problem as I was trying to install it. I got this error message:
This computer uses Intel RST (Rapid Storage Technology). You need to turn off RST before installing Ubuntu. For instructions, open this page: help.ubuntu.com/rst
I tried following the first solution on this AskUbuntu post post. However, when I booted to Windows, it immediately went into recovery mode. I switched the SATA controller and tried all of the recovery options, but it looked like my Windows was gone.
I have a Windows bootable CD, so I thought I'd just install Ubuntu over everything and install Windows later. I turned off RST and went to install it, but saw it installed with only 14 GB of space on an SSD, which was strange to me. After some inspection, I discovered this was the Intel Optane Memory SSD.
I'm really worried I screwed up the Optane Memory, and I would still like to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows but just Windows with Optane working would be a good start. Does anybody know if this is possible? Can I reconfigure it so it works for me?
Much thanks.
CLARIFICATION: My main concern is installing Windows and configuring Optane memory. If that is possible, please let me know.
