Everything worked up to:
1) deleting old files. I cnnot get access to the folders as they
are write protected and even when I uncheck the protection, it sets
it right back up again as soon as I close the "Profiles".
2) If I close out the msconfig menu from edit, the system
automaticly detects the 2nd partition and resets all that I removed.

I need to remove the partition completly... Any thoughts?

(1 & 2) You can probably gain access to the files - if the message you are
reciving is "access denied" when trying to open them:
