No, you should NOT have deleted the partition, now your partition table 
is messed up.  All you had to do was format or better yet just delete 
the files and reinstall, by deleting the files you can save /home. But 
now you need to look at that drive with a partition editor like gparted, 
maybe use a live-cd with gparted installed OR the wheezy live disc will 
let you install gparted.
