£12 excluding postage, but it should solve your problem. Comes with a fan

Alternatively, you could check out ebay for similar products.
Wrong one, you'd want one for a 2.5" drive

But i'm not sure that would help anyway as it might not boot

I rekon its not the hard-drive anyway its the CPU
IMHO p4 @ 3.2ghz in a laptop is just a bad move (i have a toshiba that has one in and it used to overheat all the time)

Infact It killed 2 512mb ram modules and a wireless card (well i think it killed the wireless card it just started corrupting data might have been because it was a crap wi-fi card)

I find using it flat surface helps, also clean the vents out regularly...

Also this might help if its running xp.

It can be set to drop the cpu speed when the cpu isn't being maxed, on mine it drops it to 1.6ghz and helps with the temps a fair bit.
