Frappez le F1 Solved

Question

Hello everyone,

for some time now, every time I start my Dell Dimension 2400, it opens to a black screen with this message:
Primary drive 1 not found
Strike the F1 to continue F2 to run the setup utility

If I choose F1, Windows XP starts without any problem.
But it's still annoying.
So, from time to time, I choose F2, but nothing works, I've tried all possible and imaginable boot sequences, and nothing helps.

Thanks in advance to anyone who could enlighten me, as I hate not understanding, even though this problem doesn't really compromise the functioning of my PC.

Have a good day or a good night, depending on the time, to you who kindly took the time to read this :)

In the BIOS, load the default setup settings.

bios, when you want to exit, there's "save and discard the changes", ... lots of options like that logically and you have to do "load default setup" or something along those lines.

Hello everyone, and especially to those who took the time to look into my problem. Thank you to them!

I solved the issue on my own, like a big boy. Well, almost :-) !

I found the solution here:

I highly recommend all Dell PC users to take a look, and even both eyes.

To everyone reading this, have a good day/night.

But it's completely natural to help a person who asks for help
and for the settings it's DELL, I have a friend who turned on his Dell PC for the first time and nothing happened, the BIOS chip had burned out and Dell doesn't sell spare parts, I won't tell you the rest
