thermonuclear small claims<p>Has anyone got experience with Intel Optane memory?</p><p>The hard drive on my HP laptop is a regular SSD with a smaller Intel Optane drive integrated into it. The Optane is where the OS (Windows 10) is installed and is used to quickly retrieve files from the SSD and so forth.</p><p>The Optane drive recently malfunctioned and became unreadable. The SSD portion (where all my files are stored) seems to be intact—at least, it's reading error free when I run a disk check. But with the optane malfunctioning, when I turn on the computer it tells me there is no operating system installed, so I have no way to access the "good" part of the harddrive.</p><p>From what I've read online, the only way to get the computer working again is to switch off Intel Optane and install a new operating system directly onto the SSD. But if I do this, the entire hard drive gets formatted, and I lose all of my files.</p><p>I'm not good with this stuff. Is there any way to recover my files? Unfortunately my backup system failed too and I've lost 6 months of art and academic work 😢</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/inteloptane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>inteloptane</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/optane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>optane</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HP</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/laptop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>laptop</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/techsupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>techsupport</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/techhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>techhelp</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/windows10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>windows10</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>windows</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/intel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>intel</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/harddrive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>harddrive</span></a></p>
