Things not to do when upgrading

[Donn]

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 
first failed attempt) I never do an upgrade, instead opting for a full 
reinstall. This is fairly simple with Linux if your organized (I have had to 
force myself to be).

Sorry about your lost files.
