You cannot access the folder in Doc&Settings because
it is the profile of a different account and the NTFS
permissions on it make it private to that account.
This is the normal config for profile folders.
Only admin accounts will be available in safe mode.
I am not sure what is going on for you with rename
of the partition label.
