You have to mount the partition that holds the data on your hard disk. For example if your data partition is /dev/sda2, then you have to run sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/sda2 from the terminal. You can then cd to /media/sda2 and access your data. This is assuming you didn't use an LVM and encrypt your / or /home directories upon initial install.
