I have a laptop (Acer) with Windows 10 Home Edition and the hard disk has been locked by malware. I fired up my Puppy and then two Ubuntu's and even one Knoppix and for some reason my mouse doesn't work at all. It does work when using the recovery software on Windows, however. I've never had a problem before, but now I can't back up any of my files using a live Linux Distro. Does anybody know why? It's very strange. Also, is there a way to prompt to a command line instead of a GUI? Of course, I don't know yet whether my keyboard works, either, except again in Windows recovery. Any help would be welcome. Thanks in advance.
