New D54250WYKH build drive questions

First, I have not built a computer before, thus this may be a rookie question, but I need some input.   Here is what I have done.  I have assembled an D54250 tall unit with 2 drives, wifi card, and ram.  I put an Crucial msata 240 GB SSD drive and a 250GB Western Digital laptop drive (not ssd).  I attached a usb DVD drive with a windows 8.1 OEM disk and powered the unit up.  I did not do anything inside of BIOS.   I got a message asking something along the lines of boot off the optical drive and I responded yes.  Windows installed and I am up and running.  All is pretty good, but I think I botched up the set up for the 2 drives.

 

When I look at the drives in windows, I only see a listing for the C drive.  When I click on the C drive I can get to a screen that shows the two pieces of drive hardware and both are listed as healthy.  But I do not have access to two separate drives.  It is hard to tell but I think the OS got installed on the WD 2.5 inch drive instead of the SSD.  The C drive only shows the capacity of 232 GB.   So what should I be doing at this point?

 

If I did indeed manage to install the OS on the non-ssd, do I have to go through the install process again and somehow force it to install on the SSD?
