Re: Nas 2003 Upgrade
Find the applicable Restore DVD product in HP Software Depot and follow the link in it for Quick Restore pdf instructions. I am certain you'd see that underlined warning about the process being data destructive:
http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductsList.do?category=NAS
So a workaround suggestion would be to copy your data elsewhere (even to IDE/SATA overnight) and backup-backup-backup. If not to disk - then tape, data folders only, preserving security permissions checked.

Re: Nas 2003 Upgrade
The NAS upgrade DVD was in fact a QuickRestore. It did not upgrade your OS in-place, but rather, it overlaid the current OS and configuration with a brand new one.
That being the case, any configuration information based in the Windows Registry will be lost. This will include share configuration, share-based permissions, network configuration, and so-forth.
However, any configuration information contained outside the C:\ drive and registry would remain intact. This includes ACLS on the NTFS level (on your data drives), etc.
(The only exception was the entry-level NAS server -- 1000s -- which had OS and data on the same drives. Those upgrades were data destructive.)
The upgrade kits used to contain a documentation CD, on which there was an upgrade guide. The upgrade guide was very detailed and specific about what kinds of information you would need to save off, how to save it off, and how to restore those settings once the OS upgrade was complete. It went in a step-by-step manner, and also documented any planning or other issues you need to consider.
I would *very strongly* recommend that you read through the upgrade document in detail (and more than once), and do so well in advance of attempting the upgrade. This upgrade is not something that you want to do by the seat of your pants, with the upgrade document in one hand and your NAS keyboard in the other.

Re: Nas 2003 Upgrade
I would still suggest to have a full copy of your data somewhere outside your NAS. I've seen one too many cases when a reseated drive is then labelled as 'individually failed' failing the array. Also, be prepared to replace your data drives (even temporarily, but correctly numbered first) with blank drives - Quick Restore has to establish a live 'data' partition for shares in it's process run, and no available data space may result in failed restore altogether.
As to Kevin's notes I can add that a separate docs CD/DVD is no longer included with Quick Restore DVD - PDF's are available online on HP support pages. Search for those is a very easy option.
