Bad luck? Yeah.

Tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 on my PC yesterday.
Upon reboot, the BIOS doesn't find the SSD anymore. I take it out and plug it (externally) in my laptop. Nothing.
##it happens, I think. The SSD probably died on me.
I try to install Ubuntu on my OCZ RevoDrive, and upon the first reboot the BIOS doesn't find one of the disks that make up the RevoDrive. Raid array broken and everything. The disk simply doesn't show up anymore.

£600+ of hardware destroyed in one evening, and the RevoDrive needs to go back to OCZ because they can't swap it for another one, which means I'll be relying on my laptop and netbook for the next month or so.

Can't take it back right now either, because my grandpa is dying. That last bit also means I'll need to buy a new suit, and I hate shopping for clothes.

The disk just doesn't show up anymore in any OS, or even in the BIOS for that matter.
I always have 10.04LTS, 11.10 and 12.04LTS thumbdrives at hand in both 32 and 64 bit versions, so that was the first thing I tried.
Gparted didn't see the affected disks (It saw 3 of the 4 disks that made up the RevoDrive, so the RAID array was dead as well), then tried it again in Windows with Disk Managment and diskPart. Same story there.
The SSD and 4th disk of the RevoDrive just aren't found. Luckily they're both under warranty, but I'll ask OCZ to investigate this thoroughly and contact Canonical if necessary.
