Hey ! the part'n table just holds info about where the partitions
start & end(ie addresses), no of cylinders etc.. in a structure.
If you delete a partn you might not necessarily lose data.You've
just lost the addressesfrom where to start accessing.
Now bef deleting if you care to make a notewith sfdisk .... ,
you might recover something,but the process is laborious.
There are ways of non destructive partitioning too,through
Partition Magic etc...
