Exit update manager open a terminal:

Insert:
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

If that completes without error you will be at up to date 8.04 LTS

Check your repositories. If you are comfortable with text files, they are in /etc/apt/sources.list. If you run grep hardy /etc/apt/sources.list you should get something like:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted
