I don't think you can upgrade over two releases... only the next one - I think 
I am right in saying. That's the problem I reckon. Current release in 14.04. 
Upgrading is not the recommended approach.

Over the last 7 years of using *buntu distros I have always burnt a new release 
to CD/DVD and not had any problems with an installation. Other than using the 
Xfburn which I have found very unreliable and now refuse to use.
