Hello,

Using the latest version of Macrium Reflect.  I have done a lot of restores and never had this problem before.  I did an image of my PC and restored it to my new PC I just built (different hard).  After the restore, I selected the Restore to different hardware.

The new PC boots up fine, but it sits at the Windows login screen and my mouse and keyboard are unusable.  I tried moving the wireless USB dongle to each and every USB port, but the same problem for all of them.  I let the PC sit there for 30 minutes thinking it was just taking a long time to detect the new hardware, but that did not work either.  I am unable to login and use the keyboard and mouse.

If I re-boot the PC, I can enter the BIOS and use the mouse and keyboard fine.  If I load the Macrium Reflect rescue boot disc, I can use the mouse and keyboard fine.

I just can't use it once I boot into the restored image that Macrium Reflect restored onto my hard drive.

How do I fix this problem?

If you are using a wireless dongle for the keyboard/mouse, the drivers might be missing.
Can you boot the first time using a wired keyboard and mouse?
Then install the drivers if necessary?

Wouldn't Windows detect the wireless dongle after it boots?  It has done that for all of the other images I have made in the past and restored to different hardware.

It should but it appears it didn't. Do as Merlin suggests then you can get in Windows and see what is or is not going on.

Number 1 things in my "fix a PC" box are a wired keyboard and mouse.
