Then turn your Dell mini off.
Power it back on and before it starts there should be a option for boot menu or bios menu. Press the button for boot menu if there is one if not press bios menu, If you went into boot menu choose to boot from USB if you went into Bios, navigate to the boot menu section and move the removable USB device to the top of the boot list now save. The screen should now go black and have writing, thats normal. Now the screen will go purple and have the Ubuntu logo. Now follow the onscreen instructions and now you have Linux =D
