Set the BIOS to use legacy or generic mode for the hard drive, also check with Dell you will need drivers for your system. Dell also has a Linux help forum which should be helpful.

i tried to change the BIOS setting and then boot, but it's just showing the following message
"ISO LINUX 3.11 2005-09-02 Copyright (c) 1994-2005 H Peter Anvin".
and does nothing after tat. H/W details i've already given.
