you didn't give us much to go on here. but this is what I would do
get a copy of the 12.04 live cd.

when it boots up got to /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out everything but the cd disk.

then in a terminal type the following:


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
it should upgrade from the disk and they you can uncomment the other repositories and you should be fine.

here the ubuntu documentation that may be of help.

Here is what the apt/sources.lists file looks like.

you will have to go to a terminal and type:

sudo gedit
enter you password when asked and then navigate to and open the /etc/apt/sources.list file and modify it. You comment out lines by place an # in front of it uncomment the CD lines and comment out all other save the file and run the commands above.
