BOOT AND FORMAT ?

I have an R6

#1  I successfully installed a wd 250gb ssd. #2  copied windows 10 and a game to the ssd.

#3 unplugged HDD and booted successfully!     my HDD wont format and I believe it is using the hdd to boot and operate when plugged in ? 

Please Help! 

Alienware BIOS seems a little trickier than others .  

thanks in advance!

    Run DiskPart on the spinning HDD to remove all it's partitions. Be careful using it.

    Then partition and format the spinning-HDD in Disk Management.
