Dim 4600 adding Seagate ST3120215ACE PATA Drives

$

I have installed two of these drives in the Dimension 4600.  Installed Win XP and all appropriate drivers.  I used the Seagate Disk Wizard to setup and format the Secondary drive and everything seems to be working fine.  The O/S sees the drives and not problems . . . except . . .  I keep getting this error at startup:

Dell System Dimension 4600i Series
Bios Version A12
www.dell.com

Secondary drive 1 no found
  Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility

I strike F1 and all is good.  How can I get rid of this "error". 

The BIOS setting for both the Primary Master and Slave Drive show Hard Drive.  Both show the correct drive id, capacity and are set to Auto.

Even used disk management to reassign drive letters for the CD drive and Slave Drive without issue.

Any help would be appreciated.
