I've an ssd in my laptop which is having preinstalled windows 11. But the problem is I can't access/see the drive in puppy. Though it shows as /dev/nvme0n1, I can't mount it. When I searched internet, I found that windows is using something called 'optane memory' and it needs some driver for showing up. Does anybody have it?

Maybe it is this, but you need to do this anyway.

When you shutdown Windows 11.

Make sure to do a normal complete shutdown.

Do not shutdown in hibernate.
Hibernate does not fully release control of the drive.

Thank you @bigpup. I was able to mount the disk after turning off hibernation and optane memory.
