This makes little sense without knowing what partition you removed and
what you mean by "removing" it - did you take it out of /etc/fstab? Did
you actually repartition your disk? What partition was it, what kind was
it (primary, logical, extended) and what was on it? Hopefully we can be
of more assistance with this info.
