Zero fill is a good option, but ultimately, it does leave a little bit of info somewhere. A low level format might work if it is possible in systems nowadays. They used to have that option earlier.

i used a program to wipe the hdd but now it wont find the ssd if windows is on the hdd, same with windows on the ssd it wont find the hdd?

It wouldn't find the HDD-SSD from within windows or in the bios itself.
If either one didn't show up in the bios, it isn't going to show up in Windows as an active disc.
