Question Problem occurred when plugging in floppy drive.

I was reconnecting my floppy drive power connector. I tried to be really careful because I had missed with plug connection before (year ago) but this time it caused problems. Last time when I turned it on it smoked (at floppy power wires) and ruined the plug but I had a 2nd one to use from PSU and my computer worked again.

This time the same thing happened but I'm out of plugs. And when it boots up I can get into the BIOS, there I changed the boot options to HD and DVD rom. Rebooted and it still said something like change boot options. Then I changed to DVD rom as 1st option but same thing. I really hope I didn't ruin the new MB. Or lost my 250GB HD.

So can anybody tell me what might have happened can I reset anything on MB? Could it be that I didn't have a floppy connected? I've never done that before so I wouldn't know. The PSU seems ok. Can I rewire a new plug onto the harness?

I really wish they would make floppy drive plugs idiot proof like others on computers. Because apparently I'm an idiot. I can't believe I did this twice now. I never did it before until like I said last year. Anybody else do this dumb move?
