HDD is faned not by the CPU fan but by the fan in your front-panel of the case.
So you should check if this fan is working properly and you case constructed in a way that nothing prevents the correct air flow (like in the picture http://www.svc.com/generalcoolingguide.html - Your HDD should be located in the "blue zone")
All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

Are you sure that temperature is correct - maybe you can feel the hard-disk with your hand. 66'C will feel burning hot (about the same temperature as the hot water on a very HOT tap).
Edit: By the way, I'm pretty sure it makes no difference if you run Linux, Windows or DOS on the machine.

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.
