Before you start repartitioning things know that the Dell boot error is for the 32bit read/write memory. On many cheap 64bit boxes hitting the F1 key at that point bypasses that function and continues booting to grub if you're lucky. Also know that switching boot methods back and forth via the BIOS is an attempt to utilize a hybrid disk for dual booting with an MBR partition on a GUID disk. This can eventually lead to sector overwrites, misalignments, and segmentation faults with journaling file systems. Make sure you have fast boot disabled and post enabled in the BIOS as well, and the prompt for the F1 key may then show up.
