Just a reminder about my previous statement relating to booting from SD cards ... on some machines the built in card reader may not be recognised as a boot device. In that situation I've found that with legacy USB support enabled, you can boot from a SDHC card mounted in a USB SD card reader which identifies as as a mass storage device.
This is what I have used to install & boot from LL3.8 on UEFi laptop with legacy USB enabled.

There must be a way to run LL on your machine! (I would hope)
1) Lenovo T520 i5 LL3.8 8GB ram, fast & stable
2) Medion P4 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, quite fast & stable
3) eeePC 901 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, fast & stable
4) eeePC 701 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, slower & stable but small and light enough to travel with me to New Zealand when visiting family in Blenheim.
