DMA errors, crash?

I have suddenly been getting a lot of DMA errors, including some that
say things like DriveReady SeekComplete. These errors bring the
machine to a complete halt. Also, a couple of times when I tried to
boot from CD (CDs that had previously been bootable and which I also
later booted from successfully), I had no luck.

Is my (nearly new Maxtor) HD dying? Is there some setting that could
fix this? I'm running Hoary on an ABIT BH-6 mobo if that matters.
