After installing windows, I restart and find that it ends up at a black screen. I've tried starting with and without the videocard, nothing changes. If I do need to install the drivers for videocard, how would I do it without an optical drive?
 


Ok, I was able to start with the Microsoft basic video drivers. However, when I install AMD catalyst, I get the black screen of death half way between the installation and whenever I restart, the black screen awaits. The only way to get video back on is to restart in safe mode and rollback the driver to microsoft basic video.
