Your msg. doesn't give much info, so a few queries.
1) does the bios pick up the hard drive?
2) what manner of blue screen, what sort of msg. does it give?
3) why go through this process in the first place?

hi I have just had the same problem but try this and see if it will work out for you
1. On start up (Dell logo), press F2 to enter BIOS
Expand the "Drives" section
Go to "SATA Operation"
Change this from "RAID Auto/AHCI" to "RAID Auto/ATA"
