Downloaded update 2.3.15 and now no Android Market appears

[evergrn]

I downloaded the update to the system 2.3.15 (US) and now I have no working Android Market icon.
I tried pulling the battery and then starting up the Droid X again but to no avail.
No Market Icon that works.....I does appear but as a blue icon and not like the regular one.
When I tap it, it reads that it is not downloaded. Help please...I need market.

You have to perform a factory reset - it is a known issue

You need to do a factory data reset in Settings > Privacy to get the market back.

Doing a factory reset loses ALL data....what does that mean? Please help. I don't want to lose everything that is on my phone.

It will put it back to "out of box" condition. Contacts and apps will come back after signing into your Gmail. SD card contents are untouched.

Are all the photos/videos lost?
I am wishing I never did this upgrade. I would have thought it a good thing...not so any more.

No ma'am, they're stored to your SD card.

After this dreaded factory reset....now I see I no longer have any of my purchased apps and am also missing a ton of my downloaded free apps.....HELP again, please. I am quite unhappy.

Users still looking for a way to manually install the market update should checkout this article How to Manually Update Android Market | Eugene O'Rourke. It gives steps on how to update the market through recovery mode that worked well for me.
