To mount and to link are different things. If you remove a link, no data 
is lost, no matter if in Windows or in Linux. On the other hand, if you 
remove data from a mounted partition, that data is lost, again no matter 
if in Windows or in Linux. Windows defaults to mount its partitions 
using drive letters while Linux uses directories. Of course, if in 
Windows you remove all files in your C: drive, the data in the partition 
mounted in C: will be lost. Besides, Windows (starting with Windows 
2000) is able to mount partitions in directories too. Delete the files 
in a directory where a partition is mounted and the data in that 
partition will be lost as well.
