Looking at the picture post.

The C: drive is the SSD drive of 240Gb correct ?

The D: drive is a 1Tb mechanical drive, if this is your old drive you are on about.

Since it has three partitions on it, if you wish to get rid of all the partitions so you have a single drive listing or partition.
hi light the primary partition of disk 1 then right click and delete the volume.

After you have done this click on the action tab at the top of the window and re scan all drives.

Right click again on disk 1 and format it. Basic drive.

To the left right click on where it says disk 1 and set the drive to online.
