I have a Lenovo y50-70, and I recently wanted to put the operating system on the included 24gb ssd and make it my boot drive, as that would be much faster than the factory hard drive that was also on it. In the process I reinstalled windows, but there was no option for the ssd, so I just redownloaded it to my hdd. After checking what was going on to format my ssd so that it would work, I saw that disk management doesn't even recognize the presence of an ssd, only my hdd. It's as if there's no drive there. I need help.
Enabling SSD that is not showing up?

It sounds a bit like you have a SSHD in your system. This type of drive is a hybrid HDD with a small SSD soldered to it. The HDD automatically allocates your most used files (Windows system files, for example) to the SSD portion. Manual allocation is impossible.

Most of the Lenovo y50-70 systems came with a 1 TB / 8 GB SSHD.
24 GB? - Did you change the factory installed drive?
These Hybrid drives use the SSD portion for caching, independent of the OS, and can't be accessed independently.
