Better cooling would be your first solution.
Something that appeared on Slashdot today about hard disk failures:

You probably want to use something like Ghost to copy your hard disks
across. The dos based one is best for this (Ghost 2003 or earlier I
think). There are probably some free tools to do this as well.

I have two Serial ATA hard drives (not in an array - just set up as
two drives) that are overheating - which according to HDD Health means
that they are possibly going to fail in the near future.
1) Is there a sure fire way to confirm they are on their way out?
2) If I purchase two replacement drives, what is the most pain-free
way of getting my current setup on to the new drives without having to
reinstall everything?
Cheers,
Phil.
