I gather you repartitioned after installing to separate /home to its own 
partition? If so, I would proceed cautiously something like this:

mount                         # to list present mount points
sudo umount /home  # now you have access to your /home files, check!
sudo mkdir /newhome        # because you can only have one /home at a time
sudo mount /dev/xxxx /newhome  # using info from the mount command above
sudo cp -a /home/* /newhome      # make sure directories match after copy!
sudo umount /newhome                 
sudo mount /dev/xxxx /home        # now /home is where is you want it

Log in, make sure it is as expected.
Reboot, make sure it is as expected.

sudo rm -r /newhome      # not needed anymore

HTH,
