I keep getting no m-audio hardware found

Hi names Rui,

For your problem the computer may display a prompt to press F1/F2 or any other key to enter setup each time the computer boots as a reminder on how to enter CMOS. However, if the computer asks to press F1/F2 (or another key) to enter setup and does not continue, this may be caused by any of the below reasons.

1. New hardware has been recently installed.
2. Error or confliction with settings in CMOS.
3. CMOS battery is bad or failing.

Solution:

New hardware has been recently installed

If new hardware has been recently installed into the computer, it is likely that you are receiving the prompt "Press F1 or F2 to enter setup" because CMOS needs to verify that the new detected hardware is properly being setup in CMOS. Enter CMOS setup and save the settings and exit. If you continue to get errors continue to the next step.

Error or confliction with settings in CMOS

If no new hardware has been added or you continue to get this prompt verify no error or conflictions exist in CMOS. Press the key to enter setup and verify that all settings are correct.

If your time and date are not set correctly, your battery is more than likely bad. Try setting the correct time and date, save the settings and then reboot. If after turning off the computer the time and date get reset again replace the battery.

If the time and date are correct and everything else appears to be correct try resetting the CMOS values to the defaults.

CMOS battery is bad or failing

If you continue to receive the prompt to enter setup each time the computer boots up and you have attempted to follow the above suggestions, your CMOS battery is bad. We recommended that the CMOS battery be replaced.

hope this will help you.

You don't have the correct drivers .Install and use this utility:

• http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/detect.htm

It's a windows problem.
The problem isn’t hardware related, you can fix it with relative ease as long as you have a Windows Vista DVD handy or a( windows xp).
Steps:

1. Boot off the Windows Vista DVD and then click Next at the first prompt:
2. You should see a link in the lower left-hand side for “Repair your computer”
3. The installation process will attempt to find your Vista installation directory. If there’s more than one in the list, select the correct one and then use the Next button again.
4. Click the first link for “Startup Repair”
5. The installation process will repair the system, and then prompt for you to reboot.
6. Alternatively you could have chosen the Command Prompt option instead, and use the following command to fix the boot options only:
   bootrec /fixboot
   

At this point you should be able to reboot your computer, remove the DVD and everything should be working.

For windows xpFollow the step below:

1. Boot the pc with windows xp installation cd.
2. At the start up screen press enter
3. Windows will detect previous version of windows installed and will prompt you accordingly.
4. You press r for repairs then wait untill finish and reboot.

You can also do repair via recovery console by pressing r at the start-up screen.
Type the following command
CHKDSK /R/F
You can also type" fixmbr" and "fixboot"

Hi, and welcome to FixYa
The computer may display a prompt to press F1/F2 or any other key to enter setup each time the computer boots as a reminder on how to enter CMOS. However, if the computer asks to press F1/F2 (or another key) to enter setup and does not continue, this issue can be caused by any of the below possibilities.
1. New hardware has been recently installed.
2. Error or confliction with settings in CMOS.
3. CMOS battery is bad or failing.
Solution:
New hardware has been recently installed
If new hardware has been recently installed into the computer, it is likely that you are receiving the prompt "Press F1 or F2 to enter setup" because CMOS needs to verify that the new detected hardware is properly being setup in CMOS.

Error or confliction with settings in CMOS
If no new hardware has been added to the computer or the new hardware has been removed and you continue to receive the error, it is likely that there is an error or confliction with the CMOS. Press the key requested to enter setup and verify that all settings are correct. If everything appears to be correct try resetting the CMOS values to the defaults and/or Reset Configuration Data. Additional information about how to do this can be found on document CH000976.
If all settings appear to be correct, save changes and exit CMOS setup. If the error continues to appear, enter setup again and restore all CMOS values to default.
· See our CMOS page for additional help and information with the CMOS.
· Additional information about getting into the CMOS / BIOS setup can be found on document CH000192.
CMOS battery is bad or failing
If you continue to receive the prompt to enter setup each time the computer boots up and you have attempted to follow the above suggestions, it is also possible that the CMOS battery may be bad or failing. Generally; when this occurs, the computer is not holding the time or date correctly. If this is occurring it is recommended that the CMOS battery be replaced.

/Teis the Wiz - -> Vote "FixYa" :-)

That means that it has not recognised the new hardware yet, you need a skilled person to have it recognise or the battery is not compatible to your machine - need to buy a correct battery.
