Right-click on Computer or This PC and select Manage, on the left column click on the Disk Management.
On the right side right-click over the partition that you want to mark as active (below the blue section) and choose Mark Partition as Active.
Format the partition

If it does not work or you are not able to complete the process then you could perform the same task using Diskpart in the Command Prompt.

Open a command prompt as administrator.
Type diskpart hit Enter
Type list disk hit Enter. You will see a list of the disk on you PC.
Type select disk # (replace # with the number on the disk you want to format) hit Enter.
WARNING: The next step will delete all data on the selected...

Yes, you have space for a SSD but besides having the space you need to check if you have an available SATA port on the motherboard to connect the SSD.
Your hard disk is connected to a SATA port and your optical drive is connected to another SATA port.
Also check if your PSU have an available SATA power connector. If you have a 4-pin MOLEX power cable available you could get a 4-pin MOLEX to SATA power adapter.

Ok, so you want to replace the hard disk and install a SSD. Just use the same SATA and power connections on your hard disk.
You will need a 3.5" to 2.5" bracket or do what I have done... since SSD weight next to nothing use velcro or two sided tape.

Ok, so you want 2 hard disk on the PC.
If you have the Lenovo M58 SFF, you can have a 2nd hard disk but it must be a 2.5"
You need a bracket that comes with the PC
Check how many SATA ports the motherboard has and power cables available from the PSU

Some m58 tower has brackets for 2nd 3.5" hard drives. It depends on the machine type.
If your m58 does not have the bracket then you need a 5.25" to 3.5" bracket.
This is the bracket that comes on the M58.
You might be able to use standard 5.25" to 3.5" brackets, which are cheaper.

That link is only visible by you, since the file is located on your PC.
If you want to share it, you should upload that to a cloud folder (Google drive, Box, Microsoft Onedrive, DropBox, PhotoBucket, etc ) and share it.

These are the two cables that should be connected to the hard disk
The blue SATA data cable connects to the motherboard and the other end to the hard disk.
The power cable comes from the power supply unit (PSU) and connects the the hard disk.

You could get a SATA power splitter, if you do not have an available SATA power cable.

Is that a new hard drive?
where do you see that message?

If the hard disk is connected properly you can created an active partition using do so, you first need to pull up the Windows Disk Management.
Press the Windows+R keys on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
Type diskmgmt.msc in the box and press Enter.
Look at the bottom area, right click the new hard disk, it should be the one with the word “unknown” or “Not initialized” on the left side and select “Initialize Disk” from the menu. Click Ok.
Your disk is now labeled “Basic” and “Online” on the left, but it is still “unallocated”. Right click on the striped box on the right and select Select “New Simple Volume” and click “Next”.
A drive letter will be assigned and click “Next”.
Format the volume if you’re using it to store files.
When the process is complete, the new new disk is ready to be used.
