The best way to upgrade a jailbroken iPad is ti first put it into DFU mode. Then, do the upgrade after iTunes recognizes it as an iPad needing to be restored. It doesn't work well if you try to do the restore straight out - as you've discovered.
Try that and let us know how you get on. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. Im using IPAD 1 version 4.2.1 i believe, acquired a month before IPAD 2 was launched in the market. At first, I'm satisfied with the performance but these days becoming slower and slower.. My question is, is my IPAD eligible for upgrading.. to IOS5??? and how?

Everyone is eligible for upgrading. First thing to do is a sync as per normal. Now, check that you have the latest version of iTunes. Then connect again and iTunes should tell you that new software is available for your iPad at which point just follow the onscreen instructions. If you have any issues at all then check out this post from Richsadams http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-os/49421-ipad-ios-5-upgrade-troubleshooting.html

If you connect your iPad to your Mac/PC it will appear in the left hand pane of the iTunes window, click on the name and the resulting main window should provide you with the option to sync, just follow the onscreen instructions. If its the latest version of iTunes it will also offer you the option to upgrade your version of iOS however, IMHO you should do a full sync before going back and upgrading, this way you will be sure to get all the stuff on your iPad synced into the main iTunes should anything go wrong with the upgrade process.
