Hi,
Go to 8. ad recovery>backup and restore.
Make a NANDROID backup.
Install the new ROM.
Go back to 8. ad recovery>backup and restore.
Do an advanced restore of your data.
Reboot

make a nandroid backup, wipe data/factory reset,wipe dalvik cache, flash the new rom, in mgldr select advanced restore, restore data, restore sd-ext then reboot.
another way (but not safe always,after you make a nand backup you can try)
just wipe dalvik cache then in mgldr go to mounts and storage and wipe cache, then flash the new rom and reboot.

Nandroid backup is safer. you can also use Titanium Backup... It's free on Market.
I upgrade my ROM by wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (NOT wipe data/factory reset) and flash upgraded version and I haven't any problems with upgrading

Or .. Read NDT's own thread, I have used his ROM before. He says exactly how to upgrade, I think in the 2nd or the 3rd post.

Questions: Flashing custom ROMS

Do you need to Wipe Data/Factory reset from CWM when flashing from a custom rom to another?
or can I just wipe cache partition, Dalvik cache & battery stats.
If I do Wipe Data/Factory reset from CWM, does it erase your internal SD card?

that's just the same question i want to ask!
i can't flashing the custom rom from virtuos 1.0.4 to taboonay 1.1, even i allready wipe all data and cache. should i flashing the stock rom first?

i try install rom b516 but phone still reboot

Try recovery (if you can) :
wipe cache, wipe data, wipe dalvik cache
under mounts and storage : mount /system only and format /system only
then flash official rom again
