If you simply deleted the partition without formatting it, it might be possible for you to recover it.
http://new.linuxnow.com/docs/content/Partition-Rescue/Partition-Rescue.html Check that out. Make sure that you don't touch the partition table unnecessarily. The basic method is to use partition magic on the HDD. The deleted partition should show up as "unallocated" or something like that. Just make it a ext2 partition or something and don't format it (click on don't format or whatever) and it should work. If you don't have the ext2 format in PM, make it anything else, get a copy of the Gnu/Linux fdisk and use it to change the type. I don't remember all the details but you can check the URL above for all that.
