Solved 27 GB detected instead of 500


It's the latest one for your PC. Just keep repeating the extract, Load Driver process until you find a version that works.

This PC's original configuration installed Windows on the 500GB drive, and used the 32GB Optane as fast cache.

Follow this Dell guide for pictures:

1. Boot from the USB. Pick Custom Install.
2. Load the RST driver again.
3. Delete all the disk partitions (you only have Optane + NVME drives and no other disks, correct?).
4. Click the New button to let Windows auto-partition for you.
5. Finish installing Windows.
6. Install the ASUS RST software from the downloaded file you used to extract.
7. Run the RST to add the Optane as the fast cache (accelerator).

Did you read what I wrote? You installed Windows to the Optane drive by mistake, because iSetup only found ONE DRIVE. The correct setup is to wipe everything, and install Windows to the 500GB drive. Then the Optane can be used as cache.

If you don't want to do the right setup, then keep it this way. My job was to help you find the right RST driver and make both drives appear in Windows. You can't use the Optane as cache if it's the system drive.

Sorry if I'm bothering you and thank you for your help. I've done some checking but I've installed Windows on the right volume. Only when I want to enter it, it makes me enter the optane disk without telling me.

Click to expand...
OK, I get it, Windows was playing tricks on me, during the installation of Windows on the right hard disk the computer needs to reboot several times, except that when Windows asks for a reboot it will boot preferably on the optane, where the configuration is more advanced.
After many forced reboots on my part, it seems to be fine.
I'll try to cache the optane now.
Sorry again, but Windows played a dirty trick on me.

This don't lookslike the tuto, but i'm on good disk
I've just see that: "Remarque : le bouton de la mémoire Optane peut ne pas s’afficher tant que les métadonnées n’ont pas été effacées."
So I need to erase optane disk?

Even after deletion and a restart there is no new menu in the RST.

Did you follow my instructions when I said DELETE ALL disk partitions from Windows Setup's disk layout? You have 27 GB wasted space partition in front of Windows (C:), which you can't use correctly. The disk should be completely unassigned (free) before you ask Setup to create New.

Go back and reinstall Windows again, with no previous disk partitions so it won't waste so much disk space.
