Acronis Fails 2 Restore

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I've been having issues for 3 days trying to restore a backup into VMWare 8. I've read the following article explaining all usb devices must be detached to allow a restore. I'm using a USB Mouse & a wireless USB keyboard.. Is that why it's failing to restore and how do you suppose I go about overcoming that ?

My backup exists on my host machine, I've setup VMWare shared folders to allow access but when I try to restore using the boot media rescue disk I can't locate the file ? Any assistance would be grateful.. Would this overcome the usb issues as when I first initially restored my PC it was through that method and worked perfect, But now I'm trying in a virtual machine and can't figure out how to access my backup which is stored on my physical machine from the VM.

thanks

Can't see 'My Network Places' when in boot CD, How do I access it to recover the tib file thats stored on my F:/ Drive. I have shared folders in VMWare. This is getting frustrating ?

NEW ERROR:

Failing to restore from boot cd.. with a different tib file stored on the guest machine

Error while Opening archive file

This is not the last volume of the backup archive.

where is support ? Forum is abandoned ?
