If they support S.M.A.R.T. then use "motherboard monitor" (mbm5)
or "hardware sensor monitor" otherwise it's gaffa tape ;)

Just the ticket.  Thanks a lot.

The drives shouldn't be duff, both are 3 weeks old!

btw is there a way I can tell the temperatures these drives are running at?
 Other than a thermometer and some gaffer tape?

> My main machine just failed to boot with a NTLDR NOT FOUND message.

This exact thing happened to me on Monday night.  The procedure I found is:

Boot using XP CD
At the first question press R to go to the "repair console"
In the repair console run the following:
fixmbr c:
fixboot c:
bootcfg /rebuild
exit

If your drive isn't goosed then this will fix it.  Unfortunately for me
mine was cooked due to it running at around 82 degrees C since I bought it
(about 3 years ago). Did someone expect me to read the datasheet to find
out it couldn't handle more than 55 ? :(

Hope this helps
Pedro
