There are multiple threads on this. I'm too lazy to look them up, but they are out there if you do a search.
 
During installation, make a separate partition for your OS on that SATA drive, and install your OS there.

Once you finish your installation, get to Windows, and go to:

Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management --> Disk Management --> right click on your drive's blank partition, create an extended partition, and format that partition.
 
There you go! Prome wasn't too lazy to find the answer. Since you are beaten and tired, you can also use a Partition Utility software like Partition Magic or Partition Commander to fix your problem.
