What do you see in the Disk Management snap-in? You can get to it by right-clicking My Computer and selecting Manage. In the window that pops up there should be an item on the left pane called "Storage" with Disk Management underneath. From there you can see if Windows knows about the disk at all. If it does, you'll see Disk N with no drive letter assigned to it, which I'd guess is a formatting issue. If it doesn't show up at all someone more familiar with Windows will have to help you out.

There's no technical issues with putting SSDs in RAID 0. That said, I wouldn't put anything that I didn't have backups of on one. If you have the money, RAID 6 is really the way to go, since you'll have a performance increase over a single SSD but won't lose all your data when one drive in the array fails. Of course, there's a lot fewer parts that can break on an SSD, so it might be slightly safer than a RAID 0 on HDDs.

Has anyone done this on a purely Linux system? I can make the USB and the customized BIOS on a Windows desktop, but I haven't seen much on grabbing the backup of the BIOS on Linux. I'm looking at flashrom now, but I'd appreciate any other advice/tips.
