You should at least provide us some idea of what you mean by "it still doesn't work." What actually happens?– gravityMay 15, 2013 at 15:42

i think i might know whats wrong. i just plugged my usb into a different computer and i think i might need to install from the file in my documents– elvis lanceMay 15, 2013 at 15:45

I would recommend AGAINST installing 13.04 (which is not a final release) without any sort of Internet connectivity to receive regular updates. It is still in beta testing. 12.04 would be more reliable for you, I think. Additionally, please go through the installation instructions for how to do a USB bootable ISO: ubuntu.com/download/desktop/try-ubuntu-before-you-install (your computer requires you to hit 'DEL' to enter the BIOS if you need to define the boot device as the USB stick instead). More detailed here: help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/index.html– gravityMay 15, 2013 at 15:51

In reply to Gravity, 13.04 is no longer in beta, release was last month. In answer to your question it does sound like the USB stick wasn't created properly.
This link (same one as provided by Gravity) has much of the information you need on how to create those disks, whether it's USB stick or optical media.

When booting the netbook up I believe F11 brings up the boot menu. Be sure you select the USB stick to boot from.
