Q: Windows 8.1 bootcamp install fails at NVIDIA Driver Installer
I've been trying to install windows 8.1 natively w/ boot camp on my Macbook Pro Retina, 15", Mid-2012 8gb Ram 2.3GHz.
I had a few issues with partitioning and everything, but eventually got the point where the windows installer ran, allowed me to create my sign in, etc. Then it guided me through the quick boot camp installer for windows. Once this finished, a small window appeared stating to be the NVIDIA Driver Installer. This remained on the screen for a few moments, and then the screen went black and remained so permanantly. On a cold restart and reboot to the Windows drive, it starts right back up in to this black screen. I've already tried to clean install Windows 8.1 again, same problem.
Thanks for your help!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
