im not sure how to do that from bios.

Look at your bios page as it first opens and see which key to use to Boot. Insert the usb and restart the machine, as the bios screen appears hit that key and the usb will boot.
If you don't have a key go into bios and look for booting order. Move usb/flash to the top of the order, save and reboot.

i dont have boot cd

You don't have a Windows cd--right?

You can make a live ubuntu cd and do the same thing as with usb--boot from cd option.
