If I try and right click and unmount it says I don't have the correct permissions (root). If I try and unmount them in a terminal window it says the drives can't be found. Now, I'm assuming I'm using the correct information but not 100% sure. It was something like sudo umount -f and then the disk name.

Any ideas where I'm going wrong? I can put up the full info later on.

Open up a terminal session, and type in

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

Inside there you'll see the details for all your mount points. Just find the lines for the mount points you don't want / need and put a "#" symbol at the start of the line. Next time you reboot the mount points will be gone.

Whilst you've got the terminal up, try:

sudo umount /path/to/mountpoint

For each of the dell partitions you don't want. That should clear them up from your current session.
