Download Macrium Reflect, back up you old hard drive, shrink your total used space to less than 256 GB. Clone your hard drive to your SSD MR is pretty intuitive

Tried this but it's confusing and it errors for me.
Id rather not clone my HDD as it has a lot of crap on it and I want to start from new.

I just installed Windows 8.1 from a USB stick on to the SSD and want to keep my HDD for file access. How can I remove the boot information from the HDD without formatting it?
