it's probably not over heating, they can take it really hot and still function just fine, however, stick a large fan on it, get some good airflow and you can keep room temp or slightly below.
if it's IDE, it will spin if it is plugged in, i'd check inside of disk manager in windows to see if it is detected but not being read right.
