I had the same problem a while back. It turned out to be a known bug in the Windows installer. If two identical drives are connected and one of them is unpartitioned (or something like that, I don't recall the exact specifics), then the Windows installer won't detect any of the drives. The solution was to physically remove one of the drives, install Windows, and then reconnect the drive. There's a Knowledgebase article about this problem at microsoft.com.
This is also a known problem when trying to install onto drives that have been used with Linux or in a RAID/NAS configuration. If that is the case you may need to low-level format the drives using utility software from the manufacturers website.
As for the monitor problem, a proper monitor .inf file should solve the problem. There should be one on the CD that came with your monitor.
