The OP has had his boot partition delted and wants to know if he can recover his system without reinstalling Linux. I think that it might just be possible. Easiest thing to do is to get another persons HD of the same OS, change the partition type to linux and then mkfs it, and cp -a /newhd/boot to your /boot. If that is not possible, you could boot into rescue mode, mount your system completely and force an install from the kernel rpm. rpm --force the install. Check your /boot for vmlinux-<kernel.version>, module-info, and system map files. Then in the chroot, run lilo, which should get your system up and running. Remember to change the partition type from windows to Linux so that windows no longer sees it.
