having experienced all the following at one time or another, i'd like to
add: please please please remember to back up your data before doing
this, since the risks of a potentially troublesome event occurring
during such operations (be that human error or it "just not working" for
what ever reason) are comparatively high . . .
you might also like to test that you can restore your backed up data too
(since an invalid backup process is even less useful than no backup at
all - given you've wasted your time).
