First Boot Up Images Are Off Center

[Guest]

When booting up my first two quick images (one says Windows XP with a black
background the other is an HP logo) are off to the leftside of the monitor
screen with a verticle black bar on the right side. However when MS Windows
XP starts with the blue screen blackground, all is centered thereafter. This
start up is a nuisance especially if you choose to run CheckDisk which
requires a reboot and the data is half off the left side, and you can't
really read it.

Does anybody know how to correct this?

Check in the BIOS and while there kill the HP logo screen.

I don't see OP but, the easy thing to do is run chkdsk so the screen
stays a while and then adjust the monitor settings (on the front of
monitor) for that Screen Resolution x Refresh Rate combo. Then enjoy a
centered screen.
