@Oded Arbel : hmmm now that I am a little less irritable, I seem to agree with your opinion. I have in fact been witnessing some cooling problems lately, although I thought they were pertaining to the CPU only, I didn't know or anticipate that they could be harming my hard disk too, but now I guess I do, I will follow your lead and have it checked out. It is just that I started to experience this only after I upgraded to karmic and while searching I was seeing a lot of such reports that made me feel it is something similar...Thanks.
