If you have an upgrade key then you must have at one time had xp or below. When you put the upgrade disk in it should ask for proof that you have had another copy of windows before vista. put in an old install disk that you own and it should let you continue the install.
Butt.... if you fixed the problem oh-well...
For the boot screen, I have not found any way to do it manualy. sorry... but you can dip down to the level of using software......
try----VistaBootLogoGenerator--- "http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Vista-Boot-Logo-Generator-Download-62480.html"
It will let you create a new boot screen.
for your problem of NOT deleting lol. try these two things.....
If you add
to the registry. You can right click the file and you will have a new option to "take ownership"
rightclick the file you want to delete and say take ownership and then retry the delete. that should do it. If not you could use the "icacls" command to take permissions of the file. As so wonderfully demonstrated by michael at "http://www.hyper-cube.co.uk/sandbox/forum/showthread.php?t=36"

You can Take Ownership By a Click of a mouse.
Use the registry file I've attached to this msg.
those add a context menu to right clicking files && folders
the one with the -enable suffix, activate it
and the other file with the -disable suffix, deactivate it
I've upload a copy to rapidshare- http://rapidshare.com/files/11314219...hip_RegKey.rar
Works on XP && Vista (All Tested)

you can only do that for XP, not for vista. Vista upgrade must be installed by excuting an installer from an activated xp system.
For vista / XP sp3 it allows you to enter a blank product key - which will install a 30 day trial copy. Simply change the key to your one using one of the many tools out there.
