I rebooted the system after first boot it went in to the text mode booting and throughout the error that one of my input device mouse is not detected and with the option yes and no a dialogbox appears and gets hanged.

The first question I would have for you is if you did a media check before you installed? frequent errors creep in when you burn with anything but dao and at 8x's
If you have your original ISO you can then reburn it if it was bad, sorry but if you have a bad burn only a re-install will fix what you are faced with.

all we need to know is if the media check finished with a positive reply that it was good and ok to use, then this can inquiry can move forward.
