  • Please clarify: Do don't want to connect this laptop to access the "Inter Web", but you can access same from Windows. Or, you really can't access the Internet !?

You can now add the repository path (us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) to /etc/apt/sources.list file

For example:-

Suppose you have downloaded it to /media/Data/us.archive.ubuntu.com/ First backup your /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup

Open /etc/apt/sources.list 

sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb file:///media/Data/us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main universe multiverse

    performing the apt-get update was the key.
