Upgrade MySQL 5.1.73 to 5.X

Hello to everyone,
i'm trying to upgrade MySQL 5.1.73 to 5.5 or 5.6, i followed your guide but i didn't do upgrade.

What have i done.
Stop MySQL Service
Remove MySQL Service
Backup my old mysql folder (c:\program files\mysql\mysql server 5.1)
Backup my mysql data (c:\documents and settings\allusers\mysql\data)
Extract from new mysql zip to c:\program files\mysql\mysql server 5.1 and overwrite all.
Create new MySQL Service

At this time if i start mysql service it works fine but i have a clean mysql with no databases.
So i tried to modify my.ini, i changed datadir to old data with all tables (c:\documents and settings\allusers\mysql\data), well.. Service is now stopped and if i want to restart service give me an error 1067..

Why? I need to use all old databases (mysql too where are stored all users, privileges and passwords).
What can i do?

Thank you
