    You might want to read the Cooling Guide we have here. Also 42C for a hard drive is a little warm, but not bad. That 62C is probably for the processor, which is actually fairly average.

    Yeh as night_2004 these temperatures REALLY aren't bad. Don't worry about it mate. If temp1 (probably the CPU) gets to 82 and above then you need to start worrying. Actually you'd probably need to do something at 70. If you position a desktop fan by the side of your laptop while your not using it, this is a cheap way of cooling without actually going inside your computer - it's what I did until my water cooler arrived.....
