My Dell Inspiron E1505 / 6400 gets very, very hot in the hard drive-
so hot that the keyboard above is uncomfortable to type on. I've gone
through /proc/acpi but I cannot find the hard drive temp. Where should
it be? It is possible that there is no hard drive temp sensor in a
Dell laptop? The drive is a 7200RPM 80GB Seagate unit. Thanks in
advance.

Have a look on the tools hddtemp or smartmontools. Both could read the
temperatur sensor, if S.M.A.R.T. gives access to it. The second tool
could read all S.M.A.R.T. values.
