You need to completely remove the MBR table. Not just format he partition that used to be C:\

There are separate, hidden, partitions that have lists of OSs, hibernation/sleepstate data and so on. If you use these by accident in conjunction with the ones on your other HDD, you're in for a world of pain. So enter Disk Management and delete all partitions, then create new ones and then format the new ones. EIther that or use cmd diskpart commands to clean the disk.
