Ubuntu 13.10 Upgrade Failed


I had Ubuntu 13.04 dual booted with Windows 7. I tried to upgrade to 13.10 using the software manager. However after the downloading stage i.e. Fetching new Packages my system shutdown somehow and the process was not complete. After having restarted it I am not able to access my hard drive through Ubuntu and neither am I able to open any applications. When I check the About this Computer it says that I have Ubuntu 13.10. I try opening the applications using Alt-F2 but every application I open crashes after some time.
So is there any way to complete the upgrade process?
I'm new to ubuntu so have very little idea.



I used the method suggested by @braiam above. As I have already mentioned, after I restarted my system I was not able to access any applications. So I used the Alt+F2 command and then entered update-manager in the text box and checked the Run in Terminal option. The manager didn't run but I was able to open a new terminal window this way. Then I did what was suggested above and everything was fine.
