Then you will need to replace one until you can get installed. You can use an optical drive from another PC to get installed. You don't have to screw it in. Just balance it on some books etc.

Sorry, but your machine isn't going to run Ubuntu.

You may wish to try one of the distros designed for lower spec machines - something like DSL or Puppy Linux would work well on your machine.
