I suppose on your machine is Ubuntu installed within Vista. Then you
probably need to know the Vista password to install a new Ubuntu
version. OTOH, do you really want to keep Vista if you can't access it
anyway? You could install a newer Ubuntu version and use the entire disk
for Ubuntu. But backup your data first because that would erase Vista
and your current Ubuntu. Finally, if you want to upgrade your 7.x
version you should change your repository because both 7.x versions are
no longer supported and the repos are moved to another server. See these
pages for instructions:
