No, you install the OS on the SSD. There is no need for partitions whatsoever when you have a SSD and a HDD.

Go to Disk Management and allocate the 500GB to a new drive.

Means the other 500gb is not yet formatted into partition yet. Psps not sure what's the correct term to explain it. But just right click on the start button there should be a storage management option there. From there they will show all the partitions there. Right click on the unallocated section and press format
