After removing all .ldb files from my computer, I rebooted, reinstalled Legacy and still get the same message. I verified that there are no .ldb files on the computer.
Any other suggestions?

Substitute your actual file name. Apparently Legacy was open when your drive crashed and the lock file remained.
