Used other SMART tools too like Everest.
Also did you setup the drive in XP mode. If it’s an advanced format drive it will have instructions for XP setup on it.
I was talking about LCC count, not the setup process. Yes, the drive was installed on an XP system as a secondary HDD, partitioned using XP-CD, then WD Align tool was used to make use of the Advanced Format.

Update: Today I used the wdidle3.exe /D with success and the idle3 parameter was set to 62.2 minutes. The LCC has gone down significantly ever since and it is not going up by 1 everytime I run any SMART utility. What a relief ! :smileyvery-happy:
