There's one step I didn't see you list. Did you copy your backed up wallet.dat into the new install?

The wallet.dat holds your bitcoin and when you reinstalled, it created a brand new wallet.dat. Of course, since they hold all your coins or your private keys, you want to be very careful that you never overwrite a wallet.dat with btc on it, make sure you have multiple backups in multiple secure places.
