Just installed kubuntu 12.10 (root partition only) to replace 12.04 on one

pre-existing /home partition. But now I have a new /home directory inside
the root (/) directory, and the original /home directory is not mounted.
fdisk -l shows this:

So, what is the best procedure to replace the newly created /home
directory and replace it with the previous (original) /home directory?
Both are ext4 and both have the same owner and group names.

Can I just add /dev/sda7 (the previous /home) to /etc/fstab (contents
shown below) and will doing that delete/replace the new /home directory?
Or are additional steps needed?

joe@T60: cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# / was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=864ca0e6-f82c-4394-b497-012083b40115 /      ext4   errors=remount-ro
0   1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=dc56632c-3c80-4f8e-87e1-2a1d65ddc281 none   swap   sw
0   0

FWIW, 'df' currently shows this:
Filesystem     1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6        9611492 3895244   5228008  43% /

none              102400       8    102392   1% /run/user

Also, what is the procedure to mount /dev/sda2 (the windows7 partition) so
I can access certain files on that partition.
