I'm following this guide:
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/39299-Remove-nVIDIA-WDDM-1-2-driver-from-Windows-8-ISO

I am in my Windows Desktop environment; I have taken the contents of the USB stick when I downloaded Windows 8 and stored into a newly created directory C:\Win8 (This is to follow the first instruction "Extract ISO to folder C:\Win8")

When I run the second command line in administrative mode I get the following error:

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
 
1.At an elevated command prompt, locate the Windows ADK servicing folder, and type the following command to retrieve the name or index number for the image that you want to modify.

Code: 
Dism /Get-ImageInfo /ImageFile:C:\test\images\install.wim

An index or name value is required for most operations that specify a WIM file. For a VHD file, you must specify /Index:1.

2.
Mount the offline Windows image. For example, type:

Code: 
Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:C:\test\images\install.wim /Name:"Windows 7 HomeBasic" /MountDir:C:\test\offline

3.Remove a specific driver from the image. Multiple drivers can be removed on one command line. For example, type:

Code: 
Dism /Image:C:\test\offline /Remove-Driver /Driver:OEM1.inf /Driver:OEM2.inf

Removing a boot-critical driver package can make the offline Windows image unbootable.

4.Commit the changes and unmount the image. For example, type:

Code: 
Dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:C:\test\offline /Commit

Thanks for taking the time to write that. Is it not possible for me to delete the drivers from:

Windows\WinSxS\ and
Windows\system32\DriverStore\FileRepository

So when I reboot it does not load the Nvidia drivers?

I'm finding these instructions difficult to follow otherwise. :(
 
You are wasting your time doing this. If the included driver has problems you can fix them post install or simply revert to VGA manually and work from there.
