Disable optane, install Windows then re-enable it?

 

BTW I'm not sure that would work, just an idea.

I'm guessing that the OS install is on a SATA hard drive.

 

If that is so check which SATA port the hard drive is connected to, and if it's connected to the first SATA port then disconnect it from that port and plug it into another as it's likely that the optane module has disabled that port (since it uses the SATA bus and SATA m.2 SSDs plugged into either m.2 port will disable one specific SATA port on the motherboard).
