thanks i am trying this second option after following this howto to set 
the USB bootable drive.
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/

then I will try this
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromGutsy

I think this will work fine. if i get any problems I will post the 
errors and solutions here.

thanks
