"failed to fetch" "404" errors when updating

[gojetsgo]

I haven't used my Ubuntu computer in a while, and I have a load of updates available for me, 168 total. I am running 6.10 and an upgrade is available to 7.04 in my package manager.

The problem is NOTHING seems to connect. I've spent a couple hours reading different solutions out there, but it's quite possible I just don't know what I'm doing. I get endless errors. For examples, when trying to upgrade to 7.04, I get:

Looks like your sources list is looking for Edgy, which is way out of date.

Feisty is no longer supported, so the files are not there for you to get at.

You can try

[sudo update-manager -d[/code]

to see if there is still the option to upgrade to Gutsy, but its support may have run out too.

So does that mean I have to do a full reinstall of ubuntu? Is there any way for me to upgrade from 6.10 to the current version?
