windows 8.1 reset doesn't give me the option to format boot drive only or all drives

Hello i am running windows 8.1 with a ssd as a boot drive and a hdd as a secundairy drive

I am experiencing a problem with windows reset.

I Have to reset my pc because if i do recovery or refresh it claims to have no acces to certain files
i tried to do this because within 10 minutes of a windows update my pc began acting weird login time was 5 minutes (used to be 1 seconds).

So i found out you can choose to format all drives or only the boot drive but when i use reset it doesnt give me the option.

i really cant afford to buy a external drive right now and i would love to know why windows thinks its the same drive when i clearly set my hdd as a different partition and a different path/drive letter
