Unfortunately, there is no way to boot your Ubuntu Operating System using your SD Card. In fact, booting any operating system using your SD card may cause hardware failure because of the heavy read and write tasks to the SD card. I would suggest that you install the Ubuntu or any operating system into the hard disk drive of your computer system.
