Keith - If you go to the site "Computerhope.com" and search for item# CH000355 it
will describe this command. I encountered the lock/unlock problem when working on
an old computer with Win98SE and I was unable to load a particular application. I
got the message that the "hard drive was locked" and was denying access to it! The
computer worked OK other than not allowing anything to be installed. After posting
this message I talked to a computer tech and he told me to enter the command at the
command prompt, which I did, and everything seems to be OK now.
