Heya!
Sorry to bounce you around like that over the intertubes but when checking on Dell's site of ryour laptop here :
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/0...82/drivers
It seems that this laptop was also available with a 32 bits windows and also a Ubuntu 12.04, which looks like a good sign.
**Backup any data from the hard drive you wanna keep, this will erase everything**
Maybe your "hard drive" is only "mixed up" being part UEFI / GPT. If you can Live boot and go in GParted and delete all partition. Then in the "Device" (if I'm not mistaken), choose "Create Partition table" and select MBR (not GPT) / MS-DOS .
Then reinstall.
** I could be mistaken so heres also a plan C link for your enjoyment :
https://askubuntu.com/questions/354111/b...-uefi-mode
Hope something I wrote helps your at least get on the right track.
Cheers!
