You might need to create a live USB drive using the ISO file. If you have a working Ubuntu system (or can live boot) then use the "USB Image Writer" to make a bootable drive. I don't think it is sufficient to image the ISO file directly to the flash drive.
I had created a live bootable CD image with Ubuntu's "Startup Disk Creator". This did end up working in the end, with some additional BIOS settings changes.
I was able to create a bootable usb using rufus (at least for the embedded PC 3000). The problem I ran into was after installation. apt-get update does not work. It points only to a cdrom which does not exist. I had to manually modify /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dell.list to include 'deb dell.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial'
Then I had to go to 'Software & Updates', select this as the server, and then check the archives I wanted (main restricted universe). Then I could get apt-get update to work.
I have been digging more in this issue, and I suspect 2 issues.
First, the "id:17 type:Hidden HPFS/NTFS" partion type we get seems weird since from my knowledge UEFI boot only supports fat32.
Seeing that I tried legacy boot but then I got an error about corrupted files just after boot. So I decided to check with md5sum 2 different dell-bto-xenial-berlinetta-p-mlk-A00-iso-20161114-0.iso downloaded files and both seems corrupted.
md5sum -c --quiet md5sum.txt

Could you please make at least a non corrpuped version and if possible an UEFI compatible one?

Same issue here, the dell-bto-xenial-berlinetta-p-mlk-A00-iso-20161114-0.iso seems non-bootable. Could you please fix this?

I have a similar problem with Precision 7520 but I suspect the issues is with the ISO.
I downloaded dell-bto-xenial-precision-7720-7520-kbl-A02-iso-20170330-1.iso and also generated an ISO with Dell Recovery v1.48ubuntu2.
Created USB startup disk with both but neither boots.
I also tried to boot from the ISO's with VM and that fails as well so I doubt it has much to do with the BIOS settings
Standard Ubuntu images boot fine.
