Regarding your problem . Enter your BIOS menu by pressing F2 at startup . Check the following settings :

Option Function
Primary Hard Drive 0 Displays primary hard drive 0. The default is Auto.
Primary Hard Drive 1 Displays primary hard
drive 1 (if installed). The default is Off.

Make sure that Primary 0 is set for AUTO .
If that doesn't fix the problem you should open the PC and check that all your cables are securely connected .

Issue:      Removable hard drive gives error on boot
Symptom:     "Secondary hard disk 1 not found; Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility"
Cause:     Bios tend to remember what devices was once installed and will give an error when the removable hard drive is missing during bootup.
Resolution:     Please ignore the error and press F1 key to resume bootup. The error message is just a notice to the user that it is missing a device.

I found a simple solution today (Sept.5, 2002). I downloaded from bootdisk.com a software called XP Boot. It has a newer version of fdisk on it. After getting the error message, I ran fdisk /mbr and killed the master boot record. I then restarted the machine and it booted right up. Hope this works.
