For reinstallation, it sounds like you need to access the Dell boot menu in order to get the machine to boot from your installation media (USB or DVD) rather than GRUB which goes to the failed installation.
Search the internet for your model name/number and the words 'boot menu' for specific instructions.
It may be that tapping at the F12 key just after power on is the method.
Other common keys to try are 'Esc' or F2
