It could be a cmos setting if you have nothing on the secondary channel you can tell it there is no drive attached. also if you have your primary drive set for slave then it could also cause problems. I'd try one of these options.

Try replacing your motherboard CMOS battery - it may be making bad contact or is dying. &nbsp;Your F1 key may be a second problem and would require a new keyboard.

Hello,<br />
<br />
When I turn on my computer I am greated with this:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Primary hard disk drive 1 not found<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Secondary hard disk drive 1 not found<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility<br />
<br />
When I strike the F1 key with a baseball bat my computer boots to Windows XP. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
How can I make it boot up on its own without asking for bruit force? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is this a problem with the jumper pin settings on my harddrive or my CMOS settings? <br />
<br />
Or does my computer just have a thing for bondage?

Hello,

    Primary hard disk drive 1 not found
    Secondary hard disk drive 1 not found
    Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility

When I strike the F1 key with a baseball bat my computer boots to Windows XP.  

How can I make it boot up on its own without asking for bruit force?  

Is this a problem with the jumper pin settings on my harddrive or my CMOS settings? 

Or does my computer just have a thing for bondage?

Primary hard disk drive 1 not found - Press F1 to boot

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
