Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.
- Mount a the spare HDD in your computer.
- Get a USB with Linux Mint or some OS on it
- Plug the USB into the computer and boot from the USB
- On the USB-booted operating system, try finding something called 'Disks'. I recommend "GNOME Disks Utility".
- Select the HDD mount it.
- Find the SSD on the GNOME Disks Utility tool or something.
- Format it.
I've only done this a couple times, but you can then add an encrypted password for the SSD on bootup.
<3 Hope this helps man.

I agree with _Digitial_, I'd use Dban too to erase all datas.

Cracked software / warez / illegal software discussion is not permitted on HF. DBAN is free and one of the best options available anyways.
