Mark, can you expand a bit on the wdidle3 program?

Since the two WD20EARS drives I have ordered will not be boot drives, does that mean all I have to do (once they are set up and running) is get to a C:> prompt and type in wdidle3 /D ? (This assumes that I have the wdidle3.exe program located somewhere that the system can find it).

An explanation of the LCC problem and why wdidle3 is necessary would be a good thing, too.
