after i upgraded from 8.4 lts to 8.10, i always get a notice that some repositories are failed whenever i go to update my system.

this is what shows


Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04.1 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080702.1)]/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs
Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04.1 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080702.1)]/dists/hardy/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.


i go into my terminal and do apt-cdrom but i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do to fix it.

system -->administration-->software sources

At the bottom of the window there is a box called "installable from cdrom". These 2 sources in the box should be unchecked.

If they are already unchecked I don't know.
