Today, following the instructions "How to Back Up & Restore Your Installed Ubuntu Packages With APTonCD"
I have re-formatted my drive with ext4 as /sda1 is / and about 20gig, /sda2 is /home and about 360gig and /swap which is 8gig.
I have re-installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) and performed all the updates, restricted drivers)
and
I have tried to use the DVD created with APTonCD to Restore the packages it backed up. It will not "find" the optical drive.
I receive the following after being told to put the DVD in the drive.
E: Unable to stat the mount point /media/cdrom/ - stat (2: No such file or directory)
E: Unable to stat the mount point /media/cdrom/ - stat (2: No such file or directory)
E: Failed to mount the cdrom.
W: Unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt.conf.d/ - DirectoryExists (2: No such file or directory)
I then tried following these post about the foregoing stat - mount error.

I added the cd-rom to the fstab, etc etc -- nothing worked. I added and then removed the cd from the Synaptic Repos, trying to get my work together.
I'm at my wits end. I have posted the packages that aptoncd burned to a dvd, here.
