Not that this would have helped in your situation, but I understand that
2006 RC2 has a vastly improved upgrade process from previous versions. In
the past, I have been so paranoid of their upgrade process that (after the

reinstall. This is fairly simple with Linux if your organized (I have had to
force myself to be).
Sorry about your lost files.
