Primary and Secondary Radar?

Hello,
I was wondering what exactly is the difference between primary and secondary radar? I THINK the phrase "unknown primary contact" means a dot on radar with no details etc, is this correct? So if I could have some explanation as to the difference between primary and secondary radar I would be greatful.
Thanks a lot.
Dan.
