The one with 223 gb it is actually a ssd & i Want to install on a partition of a hdd with 3726 gb
For installing on a separate drive, so long as it is gpt+, suggest you back up any data on the drive and reformat it so it has an EFI partition of at least 200MB - this can be done with either diskpart in Windows command terminal or with Mac OS install Disk Utility,

To boot on a UEFI based hardware build you need an EFI partition on your drive to put the Mac OS boot files or it will not be bootable.

So formatting is the only option... If yes then I hav to purchase the another hdd... I hav to ask one more Actually I want to us mac only for audio production so logic is gonna wrk f9 or do inned to purchase the mac for that???
 
So what do i need to show? Can you tell me how to find that out?
Look at the specs for your exact model number + the options on the HP web site. When you find them, put them in your profile:
Mobo = HP [model #] Zxx
CPU = i3/i5/i7 [model #]

Yes, formatting is necessary. A new SSD would be better than a HDD. Whether logic will work with your hardware, best to ask that question of those who use it at https://www.tonymacx86.com/forums/music.21/
