My Ubuntu is upgrading to 12.10 at the moment but since 4 hours or more I see only previous packages get restored and nothing happen.

If I exit the upgrading now is all my previous data lost or does the Computer boot my old Ubuntu? I had a problem that is similar to this before while installing Linux on my fathers notebook. After the installation got crashed the Computer wasn't able to boot and I wasn't able to reinstall it.

I need help I don't know what to do now.

if you decide to quit upgrade i would recommend to install aptitude with sudo apt-get install aptitude and run sudo apt-get safe-upgrade or sudo apt-get update -f and sudo apt-get -f install.Once i upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 and it took almost 2.5-3 hours.If system is full of files and setting that can be a reason why it took to upgrade for so long
