Binary package hint: network-manager

I am on 8.10, all updates loaded. This has been working OK for a few months, still working OK BUT
I am trying to upgrade to 9.04 using update manager but on checking pre load it comes up with:

W:Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080423)]/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

, E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

You have the CD as a repository. The computer is looking for it, but not finding it. Edit your sources list. Open a terminal and input: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list. This should open the list in gedit. The line about the CD should appear at the top. Make it ineffective by putting a # in front of the line. Save, close. Run the Update again

If you are in trouble doing what arochester tell you please

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

copy and paste the first 10 rows of the /etc/apt/sources.list here

Thank you
