Replacing a laptop hard drive

Well, I plan on getting a Thinkpad T400 and I want to replace its hard drive with an Intel X25-M G2 160 gigabyte SSD. I have a few questions as to the whole thing:

1. Will the BIOS recognize the SSD?
2. Before I take out the stock drive, I should burn a recovery disk from the hidden partition with the OS and all its drivers (and bloatware...), right?
3. Does Intel's TRIM firmware for the G2 drives work now?
 
Burn a recovery disk, the OEMs don't include physical media anymore (haven't for years). Then install the new drive and do a recovery installation and you should be in business. Win7 right?
