Ubuntu 12.04 Crashes on Boot After Installing NVIDIA Drivers

I'm fairly new to Ubuntu and Linux in general. After installing Ubuntu and updating it without any problems, I installed the latest NVIDIA drivers for my graphics card. I restarted the computer and was taken to a black/blank screen. This is where I am stuck. I cannot do anything. That includes opening the terminal (or console... I'm not quite sure what the difference is).

Try the following:

Boot your PC

If GRUB doesn't show up on it's own:
- While booting, press Ctrl+Alt+Del

Enter Recovery mode of your Ubuntu via GRUB (advanced options)

Select root shell with networking (netroot) and type the following command: mount -o remount,rw / This will give you rw-access to your FS.

Remove installed graphics driver

Type and execute apt-get install nvidia-current

reboot
