I have discreet and integrated video cards in my laptop and during installation, it only picked up the integrated video card. Unfortunately, I thought I'd be smart and install the Windows 7 driver of the discreet video card but that only resulted in the
Black Screen of Death.
I tried F8 and Shift + F8 but neither got me into any sort of safe mode menu. I imagine that the safe mode menu for Windows 8 uses the full driver and not a generic VGA driver since it's Metro-styled. Is there a way to revert to a VGA driver or uninstall
the discreet video driver? This is not a very useful safe mode if I can't even see the safe mode menu as nice as the Metro-style is.
