I recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 on a friends laptop, hoping to upgrade to 8.04. I'm very familiar with Hardy Heron and was hoping to submerge my friend into the Linux world.
However, after installing 7.10, I've had no success in upgrading to 8.04. A direct download through update manager leaves the screen hanging on bootup and my burned cd of ubuntu 8.04 isn't recognized by the OS (although my official ubuntu 7.10 cd is)
So I'm stuck with an operating system that doesn't recognize burned CDs and won't install Hardy Heron correctly through update manager. How can I upgrade from 7.10 or return to vista (i have a vista cd and a legit key written on the laptop, although the system isn't recognizing it)?
