It sounds like you haven't actually completed the upgrade yet then?
It sounds specifically like that when the files were uploaded, they weren't "merged". Ideally, you'd want to restore a backup and check your FTP/uploading application. Without this, it's possible things like attachments or avatars may now be missing.
You may be able to manually re-create the internal_data/install-lock.php file, but this may mask other issues.
Note that after you upload the files, you want to go to <url>/install/. If it indicates that you are doing a new install, that likely means that the upload did not "merge" files.
