Can you give the output of:

sudo fdisk -l; mount

/home isn't allways a seperate partition.
You can check wether /home is a seperate partion this way:

df -h

Changing partions can be done very easily with a gparted live cd or the ubuntu live cd with it's own disk tools.

you can also run:

mount

to see where stuff is mounted. A default install of ubuntu will only have 2 partitions (/ and swap). The output of your command will be very helpful.

Can you help with this problem?
