I'm having a similar issue with my Dell Dimension B110. It's been a while since being used. I checked all connections and turned it on. Screen appeared saying "secondary drive 0 not found". I reboot it and chose F2 for system setup and follow instructions from a tech that said to lit all 3 lights (caps,num,scroll locks). Then hit Alt, E,F,then B. It automatically rebooted, but then gave me the screen "secondary diskette failure" and took me to start windows normally. I did but it's taken over 30 mins for my screen to come on, just showing me the windows screen thinking.........PLEASE HELP!

Have you tried replacing the battery on the motherboard?
A 3-V CR2032 lithium coin cell is required, this can be purchased from any Radio Shack, WalMart and most pharmacies.

What model computer do you have? If you try to boot the computer do you get a message to press F1 to continue or F2 for System Setup?
