Hello,
I tryed this way:

1) copy the folder HDDGURU LLF Tool to a SD card
2) boot MiniXP from Hiren’s BootCD 15.1
3) execute LLFTOOL from SD Card ( see point 1)
4) i select my HDD ( Fujitsu MJA2320BH G2) and I press the botton "Format this device"
5) this warning is displayed "Unable to lock device"

Someone can tell me how i can make LLF on one internal /empty/single HDD ??

Again thank !!!

If your running Vista or Win7 why not just run a normal (not quick) format this way it will write zeros to the sectors.
You could also use diskpart & the clean all command on the correct drive from Vista or Win7. (both options can be run from the Vista or Win7 setup cd)

Or use a Ubuntu boot cd & then wipe/format the drive.

Secure Erase is another option

There are lots of ways to do this & google has the answers.
