Usually if you return a computer desktop or laptop to the manufacture for repair they have their own diagnostic programs that they run to test it. So it shouldn't matter what you are running on the hard drive. They will more than likely plug their own hard drive in to run tests or use a bootable floppy.

(I do, but in I brought my TP 240 to IBM UK after the system board had been killed (apparently by lm-sensors). I have nothing but praise for the service. I don't think they booted the machine, at least not from my hard drive, so I would assume they can deal with it without Windows installed.
