Keyboard and mouse does not respond after restore Windows 2003 hp ML 150
I just restored windows 2003 server domain controller with universal restore and the system boots fine. Although, when I get prompt to press control alt delete, I get no response from the keyboard or mouse. The chipset hard drive is in compatibly mode. Booting in to safe mode or directory recovery service does not resolve the issue with the keyboard or mouse.
Both the mouse and keyboard are PS/2. I have tried using a USB keyboard but this does not resolve the issue.
I am using build 11345 Acronis Backup&Recovery Server. The controller, chipset. and network drivers were used with universal restore.
What frustrates me is that I did this same process last weekend on another server with same hardware specs. The hardware is brand new and I have tested that the hardware works fine with emergency CD and diagnostic CD. I just booted with boot logging on and I am going use an emergency disk to read the contents of that file.
The old hardware was a p3 ML350 with 512MB of RAM. The new Hardware is an ML150G6 with 2GB of ram. I also have disable some of the cores to see if this would help with zero success. Monday is coming soon so please help if you have any suggestions.
The whole Idea of using the software was to save me time but this has not happened.
