I have been using Windows 8 since the first beta's released, and have had a pretty good amount of problems. But this one, this one just completely stupefies me. I was using it as normal, rebooted, and suddenly, after the OS select screen, nothing. A black screen in place of the login screen. I grumbled, and booted to my other Windows 8.1 install off my (currently broken) laptop's HDD. i searched to see what to do, and the only things I could find were where you could see the mouse, which I couldn't. I tried booting to safe mode, to no avail. Same thing. Black screen, no mouse. I couldnt restore/refresh, because I dont have an install disc (I upgraded from 8 with a disc, which broke). I got the tool that's suppossed to give you an ISO of it, and it said I was offline (which I confirmed wasnt true). I'm at a loss. Also, it isnt the HDD itself, as I can access it, and installed ubuntu on it, and it showed its S.M.A.R.T. data was perfect. HELP ME! I NEED IT ASAP!
