It's probably something to do with the boot file. I think EasyBoot is something that gets recommended for dual booting problems.

What type of screen was it the redirected you, a Windows 7 boot menu or GRUB?

When you installed Ubuntu the first time, was it before or after Windows 7 and did you put Grub on the partition or the Master Boot Record?

What do you want you configuration to end up as? Does the Dell still have a Recovery partition?

If you can boot into Linux, use G-Parted to take a picture of the drive partitions and attach using the paperclip.
