Lost retouches when converting to .dng from .cr2


i had folder of images in catalog containing .cr2 , .xmp retouched in lr4, converted these images .dng, throwing away original files. when go folder in lr5 (upgraded lr4), of ratings , previous retouches gone, have original raw images in .dng format. i'm guessing tihs because didn't or lr5 didn't save modifications sidecar files, before conversation. fortunately, have backups of original .cr2 & .xmp files , (or lr4 catalog) contain retouches. in mind, what's best way reimport .cr2 & .xmp files, , reconnect them same folder in catalog?

 

should remove .dng files, restore backup folder , expect lr4 see everything? or need import images catalog? did converting lr5 update catalog, , need restore previous lr catalog too?

 

thanks insight , assistance!

did use lr5 upgrade lr4 catalog, or re-import of files lr5?
