I've got 32bit version of 11.10 and I want to upgrade to 64bit 12.04. I've tried booting the ISO from a USB and a CD but when I chose the boot option it just goes straight through to my normal desktop. I upgraded to 32bit 12.04 with Update Manager with little fuss. Also, I tried to boot 64 bit version of 11.10 and was then just going to upgrade through Update Manager but it's the same thing. Even with 12.04 32bit.

Any help, greatly appreciated, but please talk slowly because I'm quite stupid...

Regards Brad

Thanks @irrational John & @david6 for your replies. Yeah fullahs, I had found it in a forum that I needed to do a fresh install to switch from 32bit to 64bit. I found the problem. It was as you as you suggested John. I was using Brasero to create the boot disk and just assumed that because it was installed as standard with Ubuntu, that there would be now problems using it. Of course, 8 useless DVD's yesterday (indicative of my level of cognitive reasoning) and about 9.3 seconds of research this morning has revealed that there are plenty of issues with Brasero. I installed K3b and have just finished my first install of 12.04 64bit. I'm happy now. Sorry to waste your time, boys.
