Back up your data before deleting partitions!!!

I'm sure there is a way to tell Windows to ignore an already created partition
by editing the registry but I don't know how.

My suggestion to delete the partition in W2K _will_ cause all data to be erased
and will require a re-install of Debian.

The problem was that you used something other than Windows to delete the 
partition, so as far as Windows is concerned the partition is still there.

Your options now are to force Windows to ignore that partition via registry
hacks or to delete them within Windows and re-install Debian.
