During a system restore, the hard drive locked after restart and hangs on the
Welcome window. Have tried starting from disk, command prompt, and last
known working point to no avial. Now have the hard drive hooked to a laptop
through a USB case. How do I unlock the hard drive or recover email
messages save in folders as well as addresses? All other files have been
easy to find and recover.

Thanks in advance

I take it your running Outlook express:

Try doing a search for *.wab (address book) and *.dbx will be the email folders.
Save them to a folder.

Importing the emails; http://www.insideoutlookexpress.com/faqs/how.htm#importOE5

Importing the address book;

1.On the File menu, point to Import, and then click Address Book.
2.Select the location of the address book then click Open.
