Permission Denied deleting folders

I had two hard drives when I installes XP Home Edition. The first of the two is the bootable partion the second is for aux storage. I set this second drive up as a folder on C: and not a drive letter (ie drive D).

The problem is that no account including the admin can delete any folder on the second drive. I get a dialog which says "Access denied" and that the folder is write protected, full or in use.

None of these are true as far as I know. The only thing running is the control panel and the processes on the task bar. None of which should be using the drive in question.

When I view properties, it shows that write protection is on. I reset it to off. Delete continues to fail and shows the same dialog again. When I go back into properties it shows the write protection is back on.

This is happening for the sys admin. What's wrong? Anyone have any idea?
