After installing a new hard drive, and while re-installing the OS, I
accidentally disabled the monitor. (yes, I know how stupid this is) Now all
I get is a dark blue screen after Windows starts. Is there a way to get the
monitor back, or re-format the hard drive?
 
Try starting in "safe Mode"..F8 when XP starts

do a repair installation......

seeing as you have a new XP installation you might also try a reinstall
formatting during the install.
watch for the option.

Did you reinstall the video drivers as well as all the other drivers? Did you
install the Chipset Drivers first if your model requires that? A "disabled"
monitor would be black, not show a blue screen. You should check with your
manufacturer's help site for more help in reinstalling the operating system
and all the necessary drivers.
