Du, das haengt wirklich davon ab, ob Du die partition waehrend der installation formattiert hast oder nicht …wenn ich neu installiere, lasse ich meine home partition meistens wie sie ist, und kreiere nur 'n einhaenge punkt …
waehrend einer formattierung werden alle daten geloescht … theo
It is helpful if you write in english as this is an english language forum

initial question was that after the installation all his data were gone, even though the partition was still there …
i replied that this really depended on the fact whether or not he did format his home / user partition during install … told him that i usually only mount that partition, but if he formatted, then he’d be out of luck, since formatting, as we all know, cleans the hdd …
sorry about the german … it was written in it, and i wasn’t really thinking language, just replied … theo
Tpitz - gone are the days when suse was a pure German distro! 
Casperroman:
Try checking if the partition is mounted. If not, try mounting the partition. If the partition is still there, you haven’t lost your data, it just needs mounting. Is it Windows or linux partion.
(for translators, try translate.google.com. Still put the german if you are unsure of the English. I am sure some of the German speakers will understand and help.
