    Is your /home on a separate partition from /?
    Have you tried just doing an upgrade? That should leave the current settings intact.

    I've dealt with that odd 62 percent figure in the past. It is an oddball situation. I think you might want to try again. Simply try installing again. I remember I had to reboot three times before it went past the 62%. This was over a year ago, though, that I had that situation.

    I tried like a gazillion times but it didn't work. Now I'm trying to download the iso file and burn it on a cd all over again. I'll post back the result...
