Hi Usul,

 I installed freedos correctlly or so I thought.
 When I boot from the hard drive and not the CD I get an
 F 99 99 99 (lots of nines)
 I can boot from the cd and see everything on the hard drive and run programs
 just fine.

Which version did you install? Did you already try doing SYS C: again?

Eric

 there a dos way to increase the screen.

Hi,

It's not a FreeDOS issue. That behavior is caused by your LCD monitor and/or 
your video BIOS, which doesn't use natively the full screen for 80x25 text 
mode. You could try other text modes (80x43, 80x50...) using MODE, maybe one of 
these will use more of your screen. As for other OSes, these are most 
probably using a video mode instead of a text mode (eg. a Linux framebuffer...).
I saw once a tool which was switching DOS into a video mode, too (can't 
remember the name, sorry), but keep in mind that many applications/games will 
switch back to text mode when exiting anyway.

Best regards,
Mateusz
