Take John's advice, in addition, uninstall any programs that had any
questions in the Advisor and any programs that have kernel level processing,
such as A/V and Firewalls, programs like Ghost/Acronis etc. Personally I
had no luck with upgrades, even when they completed, I had miscellaneous
errors until I did a clean install.
Good luck.
