Well, I found http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814500222 that looks like it should be able to handle one of these monitors without an issue. Any love/hate for the card? Is there something cheaper out there I'm missing or any reason to spend more? Thanks.

I was hoping for more budget than that. Perhaps something in the $30-40 range? Without any gaming I figured it would be very possible. Thanks.

I'm really tempted to get one of these bad boys. After confirming my onboard gfx won't be able to push this much res (surprise, surprise), anybody have a good recommendation for a cheap gfx card that will work with these things? I won't be doing any gaming and fanless would be ideal. Thanks.

You are 100% right. For some reason the clone function on EASEUS didn't do the trick, but Acronis TruImage did it just fine. Up and running on the new drive now. Thanks for the help everybody.

Ok, new sata hdd is here. I copied all the data from the current sata boot drive over via EASEUS partition manager and the system won't boot from that drive. I've tried different sata ports without any luck. When booting from the old drive the new one shows in fine in windows and all the files...

New sata drive ordered. I'll update with how things go when it gets here. Thanks. j

So would this be a much simpler operation if I was doing sata to sata? I'm not opposed to buy a 300gb sata drive to use for this. I even think I would like it better because of the speed boost in sata vs. ide for a boot drive. Thanks. j

I tried Acronis TrueImage and got the same results. I've got all day tomorrow to mess with it, so I'm going to give the sysprep thing a go. Thanks again. j

As expected, I get the login loop without the sata connected, but I can login just fine without the ide connected. And without the ide the status of C: in admin tools is back to Healthy (System). I'm running out of ideas.... j

Interesting development: my c drive (the sata) now shows as active in EASEUS partition manager and Healthy (page file) in computer management and G: (the ide I cloned to) shows as the system drive. Despite this the system still won't boot without the sata drive connected (it does the login loop...

Thanks for the reply REC. I upgraded my version of EASEUS partition manager and I'm going to give it another go tonight. If that fails I'll try out Acronis. To clarify, the image will be going into the same machine that is running it now. The goal is to move the sata drive to the unraid box...

So I recently built an unraid server and now I want to move some hdd's around to add more space to it. I currently have winxp installed on a sata hdd in my main box. I've cleaned out one of the ide hdd's in the same box and used EASEUS partition manager to copy the sata drive over to the ide...
