When I boot my HP notebook in safe mode, it only uses a very small portion of the LCD?

It's because you're not running at your optimal resolution in Safe Mode. Certain laptops have software that will "stretch" the picture to fit, but it normally doesn't help in Safe Mode. Essentially, you're supposed to run at some really high resolution (like 1400 x 1050 for SXGA+) and that will fill up the screen, but running at 800x600, or 640x480 in Safe mode won't. This behaviour is dependant on what type of screen you've got.
