I was attempting to install Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS for the very first time without help from a tutorial and I managed to somehow install Ubuntu on my intel optane memory instead of my hard drive.

When I look at the disks, my hard drive "Acer" comes up as a removable drive - when it is a hard drive installed into the laptop.

I am wondering if it is possible to change my file-system location to my internal hard drive as my optane memory is only a small capacity.

You filesystem can span multiple drives. The Optane is a good place for your core system. The old OS or data was wiped when you erroneously committed your changes and installed Ubuntu there. – user535733 Dec 17 '19 at 20:01
How would I mount my home directory and where the software gets installed to another drive? Also it sometimes takes a few seconds to detect the HDD. – Ulferno Dec 17 '19 at 20:17

Does this answer your question? Intel Optane Memory support for Ubuntu and Windows 10 dual boot on Dell i7 Optane is not Linux-compatible. The Ubuntu installation tutorial is at https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop#0 – K7AAY Dec 18 '19 at 00:49
