I checked the cables, one worked moments before the new drive was installed and the other is brand new. The catalyst was adding the new drive. Also, the drive in the 0 port still operates.
I just replaced the Dell Fan on my GX620 with a NOCTUA 120mm PWM fan and a conversion cord which converts the 5 pin DELL Jack on the Mother Board to accept the 4 wire NOCTUA Fan. I get the strike F1 key and a quick double beep on start-up. If I strike the F1 key the computer runs normally, except now it is cooling with the NOCTUA Fan; which is turning very quietly. I fooled around with the boot order, but it still beeps on start-up and the strike F1 key still lights. No big deal, but obviously the bios sees something it doesn't like. BTW I can see the fan turning just fine, only VERY quiet.. Any ideas?
PS. I can unplug the NOCTUA fan and plug in a Dell fan, hold it in my hand and everything starts and runs fine. The Dell fan does it's thing, Noisy, throttling. and whatever, but the bios likes it. Obviously the bios doesn't like the NOCTUA.
For what it's worth I seem to have fixed my F1 Strike problem. When I struck F2 and entered bios I scrolled down to boot sequence. There were several listed which were not in my computer, so I deleted them. Next I set 1-Onboard SATA Hard Drive
2-Onboard or USB CD-ROM Drive
3-Onboard IDF Hard Drive
Everything else In boot sequence I deleted. Now it works with no more Strike F1 Or Beeping messages. Of course this is just my computer, Yours may be different.
Whoops! The Strike F1 Key alert is back on about 1 times out of 10 it pops up. It is only telling me the fan failed sometime back. Guess I can live with that. If I give my Grand Daughter this computer I'm sure she won't mind pressing F1 occasionally..
It seems the "unknown setting on one of the SATA ports was the issue. Been having this problem for years and just now disabled the one port stating unknown and the issue is resolved. Thanks for the advice folks!
My problem is different when i open my dell latitude d610 i getting this message internal HDD Hard Error And Strike The F1 key Ro Continue F2 to Run The Setup Utility

Flash,

Thanks Bob. Did the trick. Had a non-existent floppy disk drive enabled in BIOS that was causing the problem.
