Solution
thank you for your reply, but what should I do about it?
hmm, i tried something called simple format or something like that on my 119 gb partition using NTFS. I dunno if I'm doing it right......My friend said, if I install something on this disk, it will give me 5x speed of running the apps (sounds like magic).

You haven't initialized the SSD.
You need to format it.
BTW, when you install OS, just disconnect your HDD, keep only the SSD(if you want to install OS on SSD).
Then install OS on the SSD.
Once you are all set with your OS installation, connect your HDD.
It will work fine.

Yes its faster than any HDD.
You can use it for games and your most used apps too. It makes no difference if you don't use OS on it.
But SSD performs best with OS.

no difference? so, if I install game on it, it will run like regular HDD? omg, tell me that's a lie....

Agreed with Akashdeep. If you purchased a SSD and not installed windows on it, you are wasting the potential of the SSD itself. If you can, install windows on the SSD, and install programs on it. Watch how much improvements it will make, and you won't go back to a HDD once you done that.

Like as I said, SSDs are built for OS purpose only.
If you use games only, you won't notice any difference. Do as your wish and see yourself.
Most importantly, if you use the SSD for games only, don't expect your OS to give you a boost in speed or performance because you have a SSD.
You have the right things, but in wrong way.

Just want to add a few things on your comment. It will not improve the overall performance when playing games, if you want that, you probably want to upgrade the GPU. It will only load the game or game contents faster, or any other things that involves with read/write data.
