If all that was destroyed on your Linux system was the kernel image, you
could've gotten away without reinstalling Linux. The solution would be
to use some sort of a Linux boot disk, mount the partition with /boot,
copy over the kernel image, setup up the /vmlinuz symlink, chroot the
mounted partition, and run LILO. Of course, if you are using Grub you
can stop after setting up the symlink.
As for Windows... well, that's a whole another issue :-}.
