I have SSD 128 GB in C drive and 2 TB HDD other drives but I only want to format C drive so should I do it the same like i used to do with HDD ? & which option should i choose ? format or delete and make a new one ? or should i just do a quick format ? Please help thanks.

For an install, yeah, mostly the same as an HDD.

Disconnect all other drives
Boot from your install media
Delete all existing partitions
Let Windows create what it needs.

How Do I Disconnect other drives? Can't I just quick format only C drive and don't touch the other drives? will it work ?

Open the case and unplug the cables.
Why? When you install the OS, it will often put the System Reserved partition on the other drive. A year from now, when you want to take that drive out...no boot for you.

Answers are really confusing

Not sure what is 'confusing' here.

Disconnect your other drive(s)
Install on the SSD

But Can't I format Just C drive without disconnecting the other drives? I'll be doing it through boot with a DVD

Yes you can. The issue arises when you do the OS install, as outlined above.
It is not required, but highly recommended.

Secondly, I see questions here just about every day "Oops! I acidentally formatted my D drive!! How do I get everything back?!?"
If it is physically disconnected, that is impossible to do.
