Comment 14 for bug 394826

Hi ..I'm having the same problem as discussed in this issue. I use Toshiba laptop (MK2552GSX 250GB hard disk) and having the same problem of hard disk getting overheated even when no significant I/O activity on the machine. I have dual boot on my machine and could confirm this problem is specific to ubuntu and not in vista. When i approached Toshiba service centre, they mentioned to me that they heard more problems like these from other Toshiba users who use ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 as their OS
and they said they can't do anything about it as they support only vista. Someone from Ubuntu should seriously look in to this.
