The fix is no where on the net but asked several times.
I figured that this while satisfy there endless google by posting here could possibly bring more people who halfway know there rear from a hole in the ground to the forum.

Ok enough rambling
To boot on a Dell Inspiron 1521 you will need to do the folowing:
navigate to <vesa kde> press tab
At the end of this line you will need to enter this:
"bt irqpoll acpi=off" than press enter
if you are having trouble properly installing it to usb just download the distro for usb
next open the iso with a program like iso buster extracting the 2 folders into your usb stick
(be sure you format it and remove the sandisk autoplay or equivilent)
next open the /boot folder "INSIDE THE USB"
than run the bootinst for your os "INSIDE THE USB" in the folder /boot
its in format for windows osx and linux so no worries
next reboot your computer and make sure you use boot menu or set usb as first drive
Happy Hacking
