Greetings @mrnepal2012,

Thanks for the post. 

I understand that you have replaced the HDD with an SSD and are looking to know the procedure to format the HDD to use it as secondary, is that right?

Not to worry, I will be glad to assist you. 

Is your computer booting fine with just the SSD on your computer?

You can use the disk management tool available in your computer to reformat the HDD. 

Right-click on the Windows button and open Disk Management. 

Your HDD will be listed. 

Right-click on it and select format. 

Rather delete the partition and format it as a Secondary partition. 

Found this HP article which gives you a brief idea on how to use Disk management. 

Let me know if this helped.
