hey guys,

so I have a MacBook and I tried installing windows 8.1 and the installation finished but when it rebooted it got stuck on a black screen on boot. Can anyone help me fix this problem? resetting the NVRAM works but it didn't fix the problem, literally the screen is on but it just stays on a black screen. Im not sure what I should do because it won't even accept any keyboard input...

Thanks Guys

Is it possible you actually wiped your mac HD?
 
I checked that out actually, that wouldn't make sense because I can't boot into internet recovery.

Internet Recovery can run without OS X on board.

Even with an unformatted drive, you still can boot into Internet Recovery.

Open Disk Utility from Internet Recovery and look for your partitions. If your OS X partition is missing, you wiped it.

Yes, I can't boot into Internet recovery...
