I think your problem is the monitor you're using, how is the boot ecran looking when the computer boots, you know, hdd detecting, memory size, etc etc etc, if even this ecran look confined in centre, then the monitor or laptop ecran could not support the dos video mode you`re asking to do. Some monitors don`t like dos video mode, something like fixed frequency monitors. If your laptop has some 15 pin VGA out port, try hooking some 14" vga monitors and see how work`s.
Sorry for my english, is not my native language.
