After following the instruction on upgrading CCK from an early 4.7 CCK(I'm not sure on the from version) I'm experiencing some missing data problems.

I have 3 fields in one of my CCK content types: 2 text and 1 Link field types.

After the upgrade to 5.3 the Link data tyoe and its associated text field was emty. I manually copied it from the old node_field_link_data table to the newly created content_type_content_tools table.

Now my problem is the Views table view of the content shows the node title the Link field as a link but when I select the full display of the cck node, the link field and the link text fields are empty!

Any help will be appreciated.

This upgrade from the old cck to the new was a nightmare. It shows the value of keeping up to date with module releases!
(I will remember in the feuture)

Same problem here - has anyone had success in correcting this?

In both cases, you do not have any title text supplied, correct?

If you change your display settings -- admin/content/types/[content_type]/display

to, for instance, Short, url with title "Link"

it ought to show up as that.

I will be submitting a bug report that asks that URLs without titles be displayed correctly by default!

Unfortunately I have no intention of setting up a 4.7 version of Drupal/CCK/Link to try to test the upgrade path. Any interested user can submit a patch to correct the upgrade, but at this point I don't think it will be corrected.
