After Cloning my old HDD to my samsung SSD using samsungs migration tool. My BIOS completely ignores my boot sequence when both are plugged in and will always go to the HDD. With the HDD completely unplugged I can boot into Windows fine and everything works. How do I somehow wipe and format the HDD when I have no other computer to plug it into?
 
Solution
Depending on what mobo you have, there is a hotkey that bring up a boot menu - so you can select what device to boot from.
