You can do it just in the new OS install.
Delete all partitions in the process, and continue on.

Also, have only the SSD connected when you do this install. Reconnect the HDD later.

You don't have to wipe a disk before installing Windows, it's enough to delete all partitions at the beginning of Windows installation.
You of course can't wipe a disk you boot from so it needs self booting utility. Other than that, https://www.crucial.com/support/storage-executive possibly (like many others) but unless you are going to sell or give away that disk not necessary.
