Dell Dimension DIM2400 using XP Home Edition
I've got an older Dell PC that I used to have a 2nd hard drive in for extra storage and it started up fine. Now I have a new PC and have the same 2nd hard drive in it. Here's the problem - the Dell is acting funny like when it starts up it is looking for the 2nd hard drive still. It comes up to a black screen saying it can't find the hard drive and asks you to push F2 for setup or F1 to continue. If you push F1 to continue everything goes ahead and starts up and works fine. It's not a big issue but a little irritating. Should I push F2 and change some settings? And if so what should I change?

You can see if the old drive is still listed in the Boot order or under any hard drive list. If it is Disable it.
You probably also have a General setting that says something like "F1 on error". You can turn this off and you will no longer be given the F1 prompt.
