I stopped using HEM for about 6 months and during that time deleted PosgresSQL off my computer. I just re-installed PosgresSQL and it wants me to create a new database. Is my other database deleted? Is there a way I can get it back?

It depends whether you just installed it or you completely deleted the PostgreSQL folder, if you deleted the folder its gone, if not it should be still there under C:/Program Files/postgreSQL/8.x/Data

It may be that you are installing a newer version of PostgreSQL ie 8.3 instead of 8.2 so have a look in that folder and if its an older version download that instead and when your installing it and get to the initialise database cluster page just untick "initialise database cluster" and it will use the old database
