You can also select "Preserve User Data and Settings" (or something similar to that wording). It's on the same screen when you click the option button. It should then go through, reinstall 10.3, save all the user data so it's "back to normal" when it reboots, then you can just upgrade to 10.3.x. Of course, always back sure you have another backup of your data "just incase". :o) So you don't really need to unbless or move any folders at all. Hope that helps.
