Ubuntu 7.04 reached end of life in October:

If you are trying to go from 7.04 --> 8.10, I would just do a clean install of 8.10. It will be faster, and will be much less likely to cause problems. If you have a separate /home it will take less than 30 minutes for a clean install. If you don't have a separate /home, now would be a good time to repartition your drive to create one.
