cannot delete cannot find the specified path

's Computer Specifications

I installed a Maxtor internal hard drive last year and
partitioned it into two drives. About four months after
doing all of this I deleted a lot of what I though were
unimportant system files as this was a slave drive. Since
then I have not been able to delete files from this
drive. I've been able to move them to my original drive
or to the second partition and delete them from there, but
now I can't delete files from the second partition
either. Is there a way to fix this. It's not efficient
for me to wait for a 600 MB file to move to my original
drive just so that I can throw it in the recycle bin.
Thank You Very Much For Your Time,
Mike
