Secondary Drive 1 message when booting up

[Dan Drewry]

Sometimes when I turn my Dell on (Win XP Pro) I get a message "Secondary
Drive 1 not found - press F1 to continue, F2 to run setup utility".
I have my main hard disk (C), and two CD drives (D & E). I have no idea
what it thinks my secondary drive 1 is, or why it's looking for it.
It's annoying because I turn the computer on and go away, thinking it's
going to be up and ready when I come back.

Not a Microsoft Office issue - suggest you re-post to a news group that
supports your operating system, such as microsoft.public.windowsxp_general.

Didn't know this was an "Office" newsgroup - sorry and thanks.
