Null Actor

I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop, and after a few installation bumps, things are going well, but there's one thing that worries me. On battery power, I can hear my harddrive parking itself every 10-15 seconds sometimes as infrequently as one minute, but usually more often.
This doesn't happen in windows, nor does it happen when I have my laptop plugged in.
Laptop is a Dell xps m1530 with a T7250, 2gigs of ram, and an upgraded WD Scorpio Black 320gb harddrive.
Install is brand new, bog-standard. Don't know if happens in other builds, as this is the first Ubuntu I've tried on this laptop.
Any ideas/comments?
