If was me....I do a clean install now( is going to be less complicated),
creating new partition and formating the hard drive(i think you save the
important data) when finish i do the upgrade.

Steps of how to do a clean install:

Try this: Open the System Configuration Utility by going to: Start/Run/
typing "msconfig" (minus the quotation markers) and clicking the "OK"
button. When that tool opens, click the "Boot.ini" tab and then click the
"Check All Boot Paths" button. When, and if, it identifies a boot path as
being invalid and offers to remove it; let it do it.
