I have a iPazzport mini wireless keyboard. Raspberry running on Wheezy. - Fully updated. Fully upgraded. The keyboard was working fine. Upon booting, the cursor is on the screen. Whenever I move the cursor however, it jumps to the task bar at the bottom of the screen and will only move sideways alon...

Thanks very much RichardS (and others!). I've recovered the data with the "Linux reader". Just need to reformat the drive and, hopefully, all will be well. Still not sure what happened but will assume I must have written the o/s to the pendrive as well as the sd card somehow.

The snag I'm now having is that my keyboard is New Zealand not English and thus the symbols are scrambled. Typing @ gives me " an...

Try "Format Factory". It's both free and fast.

Thanks for the responses. When typing qwerty... I get..... q =', w = , (a comma), e = full stop, r = p, t = y, y = f, u = g, i = c, o = r, p = a weird L a = a, s = o, d = e, f = u, g = i, h = d, j = h, k = t, l = n, z = semi-colon, x = q, c = j, v = k, b = x, n = b m = m. The keyboard is a Logitech ...

It's my fault. On the first boot I entered the wrong keyboard and now anything I type comes out as gibberish. I cannot load sudo raspi-config as,,, everything I type is gibberish. Any brilliant suggestions?
