Hi
No. You don't need to disconnect any drive.
You just have to be carefull which one you will LLF.
Do you have a LLF utility or is there a LLF Option on your BIOS?

I've visit the maxtor's website and found some LLF utlilty but I don't really know what kind of my hard disk is. How do i check?

Hi
The best way is to physically look at the drive & get the model number off it, or else you could try a diag prog like SISoft Sandra.

If you have a fairly new motherboard, during boot when it is detecting IDE devices it will display the model number of your hard drives.

Your Maxtor Hard drive has a model number on the label. If it reads something like 91010D6 you would use the 9000 series utility. Just download the one that matches your drive.Quote:
