Subject: [LINUX_Newbies] Black Screen following Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 install - What Next?

In short my 120GB Acer Aspire One netbook was running Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I 'upgraded' to 9.10 UNR and all I get is a Black screen.
Now I have the older 9.04 version on a USB stick, but need to know how to have the machine boot this so I can re-install it. The default is the hard disk at present. Help **desperately* * needed as the item is a promised present having agreed to sell item to a friend.
What can I do next ?
Many Thanks,

>>>Hello,
Is there a way to access the BIOS to change the boot-up preference? Yes, use F2 to switch to USB flash drive. I think Mint 8 would be better, but then I don't have one to test to be sure. I know it runs on even the 700MHz EEEpc, from what I read on Distrowatch under reviews.
Good luck,
Joan in Reno
