Ah, this is because your BIOS RAID is what is referred to as FakeRAID. It's neither a hardware controller (and thus OS-independent) nor fully OS controlled (and thus transferrable to another system). While there used to be some support in Linux, it's really a Windows thing -- and not all that well supported in Windows. My recommendation is to tell your BIOS they are all independent disks, and use either Linux's mdadm to assemble them into RAIDs or, if you want a little more excitement, use btrfs or ZFS instead. -dsr-
