Mouse Killed my Backup

Bought Ver 10 last night and decided to give it a go.
Made a Bootable CD. Booted my Test Computer with the CD and made a backup. Check the Backup - Ok.
Rebooted to the operating system and installed a Program as a test.
Shut everything down! Connected the test computer to my normal keyboard and a MSFT mouse.
Booted to the Bootable CD and tried a restore.
UGH 1st couple of times it would keep rebooting for no apparent reason. One time I got to the restore menu and started a restore and then it rebooted to the black screen of death.
After some trial and error I found that if I used a USB mouse the Recovery screen was stable but now it said the backup file was corrupted!
To make matter worse when I checked my hard disk with an old Bart Pe it said I did not have a drive C any more Just D: and E and unallocated space where C used to be.
UGH!!! Glade I did this on my test Cpt - however it will still take a couple of hours to get it running again.

 

It appears the latest build 4942 has a bug or two!
Look at the Vista Problems!

 

Are the keyboard and mouse both PS/2 and plugged directly into the Test Computer?

I've never seen a PS/2 mouse cause reboots as you report.

After you get the system running again, recheck the backup file. It's very unusual for a file to be corrupted by doing a restore with it.

When you started a restore, the old C partition was deleted and a copy of the partition from the image was supposed to be written to that space. When the system crashed, nothing was written there, so it was left as unallocated space. That's normal although unfortunate when you can't complete the restore.

 

Hello Doug,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

We are sorry for the delayed response.

Please note that as jmk94903 mentioned if the restoration process was interrupted for some reason no data is restored and all the data stored on the target partition is deleted, the partition becomes unallocated.
