Okay, so it seems like it's not formatted properly. I believe that is Disk 1, it shows unallocated (black bar). You don't have data on the SSD, correct? If not then do the following:

Download EaseUS Home Edition:
http://www.partition-tool.com/landing/home-download.htm

Install program, open program, and click on Go to Main Screen.

Then right click on the SSD on the bottom half of the screen and format it to NTFS, and make sure the alignment is 4096. After that, you want to check if its Primary, if not right click and it will say "Convert to Primary." Otherwise, leave it alone. Hit Okay and Apply.

Let me know how it works out for you.
