You most likely made your user folder private, and in doing so encrypted it. Then when you overinstalled you can no longer access your data. This is typical behavior when you make your user folder private.

You will need a third party utility like ERD (which is uber expensive) to boot from and unlock your folder.

Too bad windows doesn't have a powerful enough command line, otherwise you could accomplish this from the CLI.
