It sounds like you are trying to upgrade from the LiveCD, unfortunately
ubuntu only support upgrading using alternate installer CD (my preferred
way to install ubuntu anyway) or over the network.

I vaguely remember that ubuntu will (or used to) recognise the alternate
CD and walk you through the upgrade process.  

To Upgrade over the network select System > Administration > Update
Manager. Click "Check" then a upgrade button should appear and walk you
through the upgrade.

Sorry if these steps are a little vague, I trying to remember how to do
this the "proper way".  I upgrade most of my machines on the command
line and/or during the alpha/beta cycles.

Cheers
