Hi
trying to upgrade Feisty, but getting this error after it reports 41 of 62 files downloaded...
http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found
I ave changed the server to one of the 'mirrors' & to 'main server', but I get the same error
Any thoughts ?

That release has reached its "end of life", and is no longer supported. I know that some packages are available after such event occurs, but it seems I recall they "go away" after a period of time. It would be my recommendation that you consider upgrading to 10.10, the current release, or 10,04, the current LTS release.

Back up and do a fresh install. You can't even upgrade since 7.10 is EOL.

Since the CD drive in this old latop is temperamental, it wont read any of my Ubuntu install DVD's except ( strangely ) Fiesty.
It wont boot via USB.
Is there any other method of installation that I can perform using file downloads ?
cheers

You could try the mini.iso (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD) and then install Gnome or KDE or whatever Desktop you like.
