Hi,
Probably not much you can do at this point, the old installation is probably
corrupted now and the new one will not complete. Format the installation
partition and do a clean install instead. Upgrades between builds of a beta
product are always iffy, even though this particular scenario is supported,
and this is why there are lots of warnings about not counting on them to do
everything right.
