I had the same problem on an old Pentium1 Computer which had been sitting around for 1/2 year. I would press the F1 Key and go into CMOS setup and rerecognize the hard drive and then reboot and it would boot into Windows, but when I would shut off the computer and then next time I would boot it up get the same error message. The solution to my problem was to replace the BIOS battery and go into CMOS setup rerecognize the HD and reboot.

Recently partitioned 40 GB drive first with Dos then with Western Digital Tool Program then installed windows 98 SE but my computer does not boot when starting up. Instead I get this message ‘Primary Hard Disk Not Found” and Press F1 to continue or F2 to enter setup. Pressing F1 boots and starts up the computer but I can’t restart pressing this button when shutting down and I can’t restart with ‘ctrl-alt-delete’ command.

SOLUTION (i hope this could help)
-check the components that are not used.. ex. floppy drives (systems that do not have fdd) do the process of elimination..
-go to CMOS setup
-disable all unnecessary or unused components
-restart your computer

On a Dell system, when auto is checked in the bios and there is no drive, this problem will occur. Go to bios and turn to "off" for channel with no drive.
