someting like free kernel DOS?

 

Can you send a picture or describe it more? It may be part of the Linux installation. I don't entirely recall as last time I installed Ubuntu on something was months ago but it could be the Linux terminal.

Doesn't look Linux related. It looks to me like Dell doesn't want you tampering (as it says NO WARRANTY). Try typing "help". It is the usual DOS command to view all possible commands.

I am no expert, but I'll try to help as much as I can. Make sure you use the correct burning tool for either storage method.
