Your ghost Win95 reference that I recall from one of your earlier group-submissions is related to a file called Boot.ini (arguably one of the most important files in any NT install). This file references what is called the boot partition, and is read-only. Disable Boot.ini's read-only attributes and edit it to not reference Windows. Because you have hosed many of the system files for NT, Boot.ini is trying desparately to reference any OS that even remotely appears to be functional (that would be the fossilized remains of what remains from a past Win95 OS).
