get a screenshot of all of the drives in the same shot. You can put your pointer on the lower right corner and stretch.expand the window until it all shows.
Also, run msinfo32 and post a screenshot of the results of that.

Your Windows is installed Legacy Mode, so you would have to install Clover Legacy mode if you want to run El Capitan or Sierra when it is released. Which drive did you want to use for OS X? Whatever is currently on the drive will need to be backed up before proceeding as the drive will have to be reformatted for OS X.

Can I install it on my spare SSD?

Can I install it on my spare SSD? It is empty.

If I can, what instructions do I follow for the installation. No real proficient at this.
 
Yes, you can install it on a spare SSD. Procedure:
Connect SSD
Disconnect Windows drives
Follow http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/u...pitan-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.172672/ to install OS X
Once installed and you have a User created, follow up with MultiBeast to install bootloader (make sure you select Legacy Mode) and needed drivers.
Shutdown, reconnect Windows drives, boot to BIOS and make the OS X drive first in BBS Boot Order.

Thank you!

I will start the process as soon as I get access to an Apple computer.

I have created the USB using UniBeast to Step 17. Step 18 says "Drag Multibeast to your completed USB drive." Where can I get MultiBeast from, so I can drag it to the USB?
 
Or : Step 5 - Item 6 of the Installation Guide.

Guide said:
6. Open and run MultiBeast. If your system requires installing Clover to the root of the drive, such as Gigabyte 6 Series and X58 systems, skip to STEP 6.

Thank you... I have completed the setup of the USB Flash Drive and tried to boot from it with no success. I do not have the option to boot from the USB Drive. The only options are the hard drives that are installed or the cd\dvd. How can i boot from the flash drive?

Try the flash drive in a different (USB2) port.
