https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76762

When I installed ubuntu 7.04, I did so from a disk provided by a ubuntu book publisher, which seemed only to contain the i386 variant, which is what I installed. I have since upgraded to 9.04.  I have burned a copy of ubuntu 9.04 amd64 variant, which is more appropriate for my computer and have tried to implement it but synaptic responds that it does not find any packages in the burned copy.  I dont know if the burned copy is bad or ifit cant handle such an upgrade from i386 to amd64.  Is there any procedure to effect such a conversion?
