Um, better check you Ubuntu version because there is no such thing as an "Ubuntu 11.01." Did you mean 11.10?

If you were using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) it would be possible to cross-grade over to Trisquel 6.0.1. Assuming that you meant Ubuntu 11.10 one option is to upgrade to 12.04 and then cross-grade over to Trisquel.

Other than that, debootstrap?

Anyway, your options are somewhat limited given the restrictions you've provided.

Try changing the BIOS settings. If you cannot boot into bios, lookup on the internet which button to press.

>cant boot from cd, neither from usb

While I guess it is possible that an old computer couldn't boot from either, have you looked at the BIOS setup?

It might be possible to change the boot order so that USB or CD would be before HDD.
