It depends on your motherboard but here's the basic rundown.
Your average computer has 3 temp sensors, two on the motherboard, one of which is your case temp, this is usually your lowest temp reading of the 3 unless you have a real problem with moving air out of the case.
The other on the motherboard is your CPU, the last one is the CPU diode. To tell the difference between the two, run speedfan and do something to get the CPU chugging along (Prime 95 torture test works well) the temp with the quicker reaction time will be the diode. You'll find it climbs and drops quicker, the motherboard's sensor is usually located beneath the CPU so it takes a little longer for it to register the heat increase.
You are correct, HD0 is indeed the hard-drive.
MBM5 doesn't require much on your part, you should just run the setup and then it should launch the configuration wizard. You pick your motherboard and it selects the right sensors based on that.
As for your temps, 140 is high but might actually be correct, without decent cooling you could very well be running at 60C. You didn't mention your cooling setup, how many fans? stock heatsink? thermal pad or generic thermal grease or artic silver? etc...
