Windows stomps the boot sector and writes it's own anyway. Removing
partitions doesn't affect LILO, which is installed to the boot-loader
(/sbin/lilo's sole function in life is to install a boot-loader, it's
the LILO equivalent of DOS's fdisk /mbr). It should still get a
kernel running, but it'll panic when it can't find init until you
reinstall Debian or install Windows (which will stomp the boot-loader).
