Windows 10 from USB recovery media reinstall fail

Did you install the Driver clearly suggested there in the first instance?
I think you also have a setting in the BIOS of Intel RST Premium With Intel Optane System Acceleration (RAID); which is probably what they suggest that you enable. Strange that it isn't enabled since it might have been working beforehand.1 -
I've now downloaded & installed the Intel RST drivers that enabled me to run the Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management utility. After a lengthy Windows configuration setup reboot the Disk Management of Windows 10 shows the following...
Note:- the Optane drive has now vanished which I assume means that its finally in use by Windows as some sort of cache.
Intel RST was active in the bios settings and showing the 2 non-raid physical drives, Optane and SATA hard drive.
OOI this notebook only has 4GB of RAM installed (there's a spare slot for more) - I assume the Optane 16GB memory made up for the low level of RAM perhaps?
I've not had the Optane memory working since my failed re-install of Win 10 in May when the re-install drive produced a non-working notebook, hence the generic downloaded Win 10
Thanks for all the help0 -
roytom2 said:Well I got hold of a spare slim hard drive to replace the one in my Asus X510UA and after a bit of a struggle I got Win 10 (downloaded previously) to install on it - the problem was it didn't seem to know where to put its bootloader. I think this is because the Optane memory is confusing things. But it is working now.
The Disk Management app shows things as follows....
Disk 0 is the new hard drive and Disk 1 I assume is the Optane drive but its not used at all - what am I doing wrong?
I read about the Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management app - so I tried to install this but it won't run giving the following error ...
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

The now one visible drive is a 500gb HDD0
