Eh, cancel all that, more fiddling and an XP reinstall fixed it. I'm up and running. Thanks for the help!

Nah, the only options are Enabled and Disabled. If I disable SATA, the HDD doesn't get recognized.

Progress! After disabling IDE/SATA RAID Function, the BIOS now recognizes the HDD and Windows actually tries to start setup! Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that it's working. I get a new error message, "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem...

I did indeed try installing without F6 drivers. That's what I started with, since I don't recall ever having to use them before (though that might be because I never installed XP on SATA before... can't recall). My mobo is a Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI. It's got a bunch of settings for RAID that I've...

After my Raptor 740 died on me, I went and bought a 500GB SATA Seagate drive, but I haven't been able to get a fresh Windows XP installation to work over the past month. The drive seems to be recognized by the Windows installer just fine. I can format it, copy files, and then reboot. But upon...

I had the same issue. My thread is at http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1260607 I had to do a lot of learning about the different types of panels (TN, MVA, IPS, etc) and ways that displays dealt with 360 input. It seems that my best bet is the Westinghouse L2410NM...

Really? Pixel pitch isn't a problem? I figured that since it's so much larger than a 24" and has a smaller resolution, I'd be staring at a bunch of blocks. Do you recommend the 37" in total, then?

Wait, how does it display 1080p when its resolution is smaller?

I've got a clear case of foot-in-the-door syndrome as I catch up on all the great products that have come out since I last went shopping. I'm now not only considering stretching my budget for the Dell 2407WFP-HC, but I'm reconsidering the early suggestion of that 37" Westy. I can pick it up...

Is it worth stretching my budget for a Dell 2407WFP-HC? I've read good things about it, and I could hook up the Xbox via VGA or component, if not HDMI.

I think I've pretty much eliminated the two BenQ monitors. The FHD2400 has all the features I could ask for, but the BLB issue still worries me, and it's the biggest financial risk. The L2410NM is cheaper, which I appreciate, but the thread about it mentions all sorts of input lag, dark...

I'm seriously torn here... I worry about compromising on 1080p, but every monitor I've seen is either out of my price range (i.e. >$500), too small for 1080p, doesn't offer HDMI, or has some other issue (e.g. BLB, no 1-1 aspect ratio). Is there any complete solution, and if not, what's the...

Thank you everbody for your help! I've got a short list of monitors I'm considering; I'm hoping that people can give further comments to help me narrow down my choices. Gateway FHD2400 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824113012&Tpk=fhd2400 Pros: Definately displays...

Any other suggestions?

Let's say that the FHD2400 is as expensive as I'm willing to go, and I'd much prefer to spend less if there's a cheaper solution.

I'm looking for a new desktop monitor to go with a new Xbox 360 and for PC gaming. I've been trying to find a monitor that supports HDMI, has decent gaming specs, and isn't too expensive. Size is not an issue, but I'd prefer to keep costs down. I've read a lot about the Gateway FHD2400, and...
