[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1869278, member: 396914"] Boot into Recovery (CMD-R at power up, hold until you see the Recovery screen). What I would do next is to go to Disk Utility and just verify that the drive with HDD in the name is formatted and blank. From your screenshots, it is, but a check doesn't hurt. Then leave DU and go back to the Recovery Screen and select to Install the OS. When asked, point to the drive with HDD in the name and let it run. Eventually it should finish and boot to the Welcome screen and process. If you have a system to recover from (a backup), you can use Migration Assistant when offered the opportunity, if you want. Once all is done and established, you can go into System Preferences and pick the HDD drive as the Startup drive. That makes the HDD the default boot drive. If you want to use the SSD as a second small drive for some purpose, you can use Disk Utility to format it and leave it blank until you need it. That's it. I still recommend trying the fusion. Either it works or not. There's not much downside. But it is up to you. [/QUOTE]
