I would like to load Ubuntu onto my old laptop but it will only boot from hard drive/SSD, FDD or LAN.Is there a way to load Ubuntu, demo or real, from the Ubuntu web site?

How did you see that your laptop can not boot from USB or CD? You can install Ubuntu on SSD too: http://askubuntu.com/q/19376/66980. – Mohammad Etemaddar Jun 26 '13 at 18:02

You can use the Network Installer.
The network installer lets you install Ubuntu over the network. This is useful, for example, if you have an old machine with a non-bootable CD-ROM or a computer that can’t run the graphical interface-based installer, either because they don’t meet the minimum requirements for the live CD/DVD or because they require extra configuration before the graphical desktop can be used, or if you want to install Ubuntu on a large number of computers at once.
To download it, see Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) Netboot
