It's exciting to be between that place where you hit return to start the upgrade and finish the upgrade. Oh yeah baby, hanging ten, family jewels to the wall and all. Then something goes wrong. Scramble like mad to fix it, maybe you do! Maybe you don't! Or, maybe you've fixed it to have it go down on you again minutes later. It's a walk on the wild side. I took that walk and it blew up! My old machine will still run, it just takes 5 minutes to boot is all. Cheers! I suggest a back up and fresh install, every time.
