|The command to unlock the HDD is: "unlock c:".
|My question is: where is this command entered? At the command prompt?
| sky42

Any command which has a space in it obviously needs to be typed in.
This is always done at the Command Line Interface
(also known as the DOS Prompt).[1]

If you still have a DOS Prompt icon in QuickLaunch, you can click that.
You can always do a Start; Run
...or hold down the Windows key between Ctrl and Alt and hit R (Win+R).

For all those who constantly insist that EXIT can be used to start Windows
(IT CAN'T), THIS is the place to use that command
to close that DOS Box which is running under Windows
and to show Windows (which was ALREADY started) again
--that is, to make the GUI reappear.


[1] If this is something you do a lot, you could put the command in a Batch File
which would allow you to execute it with a click.
