I'm trying to update the family computer from Gutsy to Hardy. Gutsy was giving me too many problems before, and now this.
I inserted an older Hardy liveCD I had lying around, but it didn't open any dialog window. I tried to reboot and use the boot options in my BIOS, but this didn't yield any results, just a blinking cursor. So I rebooted back into Gutsy and downloaded the latest .iso.
After verifying the correct hash for the new .iso, I tried to burn the 8.04.1 .iso with Nautilus' "Write to Disk..." option, but it didn't seem to recognize my disk drive (which had been working fine until today). It just calls the drive (null).
As a test, I inserted an audio CD, but it wouldn't offer to play the music or open the files.
I ran Gnomebaker in the terminal with -v and it returns these errors:
Code:
~$ gnomebaker -v

:~$
Some help would be greatly appreciated, since I don't have a spare optical drive lying around.
