This may help.

Installation/FromUSBStick

Please have a glance at the section titled, "Installing Ubuntu directly on a USB flash drive".

A quick suggestions from my side would be to try creating a Live USB from Ubuntu CD (UNetbootin, may help); boot from the Live USB and cross check if things look good i.e. do you still see the black/purple screen?
