The title is pretty self-explanatory. I can't switch back to Windows 8. It's a very long story of pain and suffering, just let me tell you at one point the computer had absolutely no operating system. But now that I do, there is no graphics driver. Help me please.

If you downgrade or upgrade a system you have to re-install all your graphics driver...! Always remember this thing... As If I upgrade from Win 7 to Win 8 and think that my system will automatically install all my graphics driver then I am completely wrong... No offense... You have to download your drivers from AMD.com and install it... If you already have drivers then install it as installed before in Win 8...

I already tried this, it says that I need catalyst_mobility_64-bit_util.exe, when I press download it gives me an error, so I just downloaded it off their website and it starts downloading 13-9_mobility_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql, which I already downloaded 1000 times before, and it always doesn't worik because it gives me Application Install: Install package failure.

@kabahaly : Always perform a clean install of your OS... I never prefer to downgrade or upgrade within the system...As all your software were compatible with Win8 and now as you have downgraded it to Win7 had impact on everything... Changing OS within the system is never a good idea.... Can you perform a clean install of your Win7 ?
[EDIT] Try running the setup as administrator...

If you read the post, you will see that I didn't want to downgrade to Windows 7, I was forced to downgrade to Windows 7 because all of a sudden when I opened my laptop it said that no OS was found, and since Windows 8 was pre-installed I didn't have a CD, and the only CD I had was Windows 7. It already runs the setup as administrator on default.
Clean install of Windows 7? I just installed it yesterday.

Okay first cool down.... See if you currently have a Windows 7 CD, my best go would be to perform a clean installation of Windows 7... See all the problem occurs when a sudden break down of a system setting occurs... If your laptop detected no OS was found then your HDD might have tripped and lost all the data that resulted in loss of OS... What exact error you are getting when you try to install your graphics driver...

Also, if you want more details on my problem, here it is: I just wanted to install Ubuntu, I installed Ubuntu and I didn't really like it at all, and here came the problem, I had no idea how to revert back to Windows 8, and it seemed that I basically overwrited Windows 8 with Ubuntu, in Ubuntu, I tried to do something with the partition to make space for Windows 7, when I restarted the system the problem occurred. The HDD is very fine, as I performed a hard drive check during this problem. It said that everything was fine.
The problem that occurs is it says: "Application INstall: Install package failure", but for when it works, it really doesn't work as when I open Catalyst Control Center it gives me, "No AMD graphics driver on your system" although I do have one and it shows in the Device Manager with a yellow exclamation mark beside it.

And yes do the thing that JOHNN93 said...start PC with safe mode and uninstall GPU Driver....
If you installed your Win 7 on the drive which contained your older OS(Ubuntu or Win8) without formatting it then you did not do a clean install...

I think I may have done a similar process but not in Safe Mode, I uninstalled the driver and uninstalled from the AMD Installer, which then the Driver Downloader or whatever started downloading it again. But it still had the yellow exclamatory mark. Is this what you want me to do?

at the end it is up to you i can sudgest you can make miracles hapen.it might not resolve but it is worth a try.
A yellow exclamation mark on top of a device icon in Device Manager indicates that Windows has detected a problem with the device. As the causes for this problem can be various, some laptop manufactures have theire own drivers for their gpus and trying to install one from amd can resault to not beeing able to install the driver or even causing problems if installed .
give us your laptop model so we can find the apropriate driver for you.

I just tried to uninstall it in Safe Mode. I did that, when I booted it again normally, I started up Device Manager and the driver is there with a yellow exclamation mark. I don't know what my laptop's model is, as there is absolutely no way to tell. The back of the computer has nothing. I can just say that I have an HP Pavilion g6.

the stress you are passing right now is normal and i as well get it when these downtimes ocure.it can be worse but we need to find a solution whatever it takes.the best thing to do after formating is updates drivers and then programs it can take from 2-4 hours and even more depending on the customer and build.if you are frustrated nowclose it leave it do something to enjoy your tie and when you have time start again if not wipe your hard drive with a windows cd and send it for rma and tel them i was working there was a blue screen and aftr it restarted it sayed no doot device found.but leae this as the final stage if we can not figure anything out.
