Installing Ubuntu on a Windows XP Computer with a Non-Functioning CD-ROM

[pro_learner]

I have bit old computer which has installed Windows XP.I want to install Ubuntu to that computer.But the problem is the CD-Rom is not working of the computer.Therefore i created Bootable U.S.B drive.Then i logged into BIOS settings of the computer to make the U.S.B/Removable media as my 1st Bootable device.But there is not any drive calls U.S.B or removable media.Please any expert can give me a proper solution for this issue?

Why do you need bootable media?

Can install directly from windows and have REALLY easy dual-boot.

Otherwise there is not much of a solution. If your motherboard BIOS doesn't have the option then you can't do much. I've had a few computers with SEVERELY restricted BIOS settings.

Thank you very much for your quick response.I don't need to use windows anymore in that computer.I just need to use Ubuntu.Because my machine has a 4GB Hard drive.Please tell me how to remove windows & just use Ubuntu...?
