I really think your problem may be related to the location of boot 
manager.  Primary partitions cannot be located after logical partitions 
and boot manager should be a primary partition.  Can you get it to the 
front of the disk using DFSee?  Move the Dell utility to the wasted 
space and put boot manager into a minimal primary partition in that free 
space.  You should be able to define the Dell utility as a primary 
partition and make it bootable from boot manager (I do this with the 
Thinkpad recovery partition).  I would also shrink the Windows partition 
down to some reasonable size (50 Gb?).  What version of Windows?  If 
Vista, good luck.
