Solved: drive not found notice
I just upgraded the RAM memory to 2GB to my Dell Dimension 2400, it runs on XP. When I started the computer again I had this message, Secondary Drive 1 not found, strike F1 to continue or F2 to run set up utilites.

I have no idea what to do, I did F1 and here I am. Please advise,

Olga:

If you've been inside the case to add more RAM, it's possible that a cable got pulled partially or completely loose. Recheck them and make sure they're all firmly seated.

Thank you, I will check all the connections today and also check to see if one of the sticks is no good. I will post with the results.

Right-click MY COMPUTER, then click Properties.

How much RAM is listed at the bottom of the General tab?

That removes any possibility of one of the RAM sticks being bad. I didn't figure that was part of the problem anyway.

I was hoping it would be an easy fix like that.

Click the "Mark Solved" button in the upper left.
