If your family file is named "MY_File.fdb" You need to search for "MY_File.ldb", the "Lock File" that is preventing you from opening your file. Substitute your actual file name. Apparently Legacy was open when your drive crashed and the lock file remained.

The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same datat at the same time. There is no other computer connected and no other ap is trying to open the Legacy file. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Dave
