Which Windows operating system are you using with your Alienware? If you boot from the disk and follow the instructions, it should eventually ask if you want to do an Upgrade or Custom install, so you have to choose Custom. After this you can delete the current partitions and create a new primary partition on your SSD.

Image Backup entire Drive (C: and other partitions).
Temporarily Remove C: (1tb spinner HDD) and leave only SSD installed.
Restore all Partitions to only drive currently in system (the SSD)
After satisfied, reinstall spinner HDD (should detect as D:)
You can try something similar with Recovery Media.
