HD Problem

[lists@ptfd.org]

My Laptop (Dell Latitude D820) running Kubuntu Intrepid has been working fine, 
then I replaced the HD to get some more breathing room. Seemed to be working 
well for some time but now suddenly it just stalls out, locking up 
momentarily, for up to a couple of minuted. 
In trying to determine what was going on I found it was pdflush and kjournald 
that would be running excessively.
I began googleing around and found that my raw writes and seek error rates 
seem very high, everything else seems fine, see below. 

Any suggestions appreciated.
