some mechs are total idiots, this is one of them. all you have to do is keep from overstressing/overheating the engine. that means no constant high speed runs. actually doing a quick run even to the top speed of the bike followed by an adequate cool down period is completely safe if you've crossed about 500km.

noise from a disc usually indicates particles of debris which are stuck in the rough surface of the pads. when these rub against the disc they make a squeaking/squealing sound. the solution is to remove the pads from the caliper assembly and lightly clean the surfae with medium grit sandpaper. note that rear discs will be more prone to this problem due to more debris thrown up by the rear tyre as compared to the front.
