1) No, unless you have an UEFI equipped PC. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platf...fi_windows.mspx also http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=186207

2)The performance is less affected then overall reliability of the file systems on hybrid disk. Check this http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=189158 also http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=148847

3)Depends on how you do this and what shall be done...
