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.
