Image restore

I have a new HP Media Center PC m7277c which I purchase a month ago.
I transferred True Image to this computer and it seems to be running fine. I can open an image that has been created, etc. The problem is that I can't restore and image. Booting with the disk I created or running the windows application produces the same results. First when it reboots I see "Acronis True Image Starting". After that on the next line I see "ATA2: disabling port". At least a minute later the screen will open up but I can't access it with either my mouse or keyboard. I tried a fix I found on the forum that said to add "USBMOUSE=OFF after Quiet, but that had no affect. I have deleted the program and reinstalled it to no avail. At this point I get a backup everytime I shut down for the evening but I'll never be able to use it since I have no access to it. Has anyone else had this problem. I do have cordless keyboard and mouse that came with the computer and it has always worked properly except for using is on True Images reboot. Has anyone seen this before? If so and you know the fix or can direct me to where I can find the answer, I would be greatful.

 

"ATA2: disabling port" displays on my machine that has a SATA2 drive and controller. Doesn't seem to be the source of any problem.

The USB mouse issue is known and has been fixed for some models but not others. You can navigate using the keyboard but takes a bit of getting used to before you can do it smoothly. In the meantime, I would plug in an old PS2 corded mouse for use with TI and just put it aside. Most PCs work fine with 2 mice plugged in.

The actual problem is the linux environment used in the standalone version doesn't have the driver for your device.

 

Thanks for your reply. I had thought of the corded mouse and have at least 1/2 dozen in my junk pile. I was just hoping to have a software fix. It seems like this HP has more than one problem. I purchased a Canon Pixma MP800 which has a card reader installed. If I have the printer turned on the computer will not boot past the setup page since it thinks my printer is a hard drive due to the disk reader. The bios has no feature to select the hard drive to boot from as the selection is "hard drive group". Oh well thanks for your assistance on TI.
Cheers
