    HDConfig won't care if the partition is write protected. Simply delete it and create new ones in its place.

    If you want to be double-safe, delete the partition first, save changes and reboot.

    Yeah but I don't want to create ones,I only want one for the Datos partition.

    My Datos partition is still as write protected.

    How can I tick it as read&write if this is correct?

    Maybe with SFSDoctor?

    Perhaps you've managed to lock it?

    Try 'Lock Datas: off' in a shell

    OK now I have no problem with "Datos"

    To destroy it I created 3 new partitions with the tool HDConfig and surpringsily apeared the Datos partition only in Ambient.

    Later clicked with the right mouse button on Information an is shown as activated.

    Happy now to have this partition again
