Yes, I can explore it, but I can't run wubi.exe and if I want to run ubuntu.exe it says it isn't installed properly (duh, it isn't installed at all).
I haven't tried booting to it, gonna do so, I'll report back later.

You must boot from the CD and choose the option "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" with . And say good bye to .exe and stuff like that. There is no such thing in Linux.

Can't boot from the CD I guess I'm correct when I say I can't fix the IDE problem by trying to use an IDE device (in this case the DVD burner).

Nah, the IDE doesn't work properly, so I think it burnt the CD incorrectly. The DVD drive is set first as boot device, but it gets skipped and the PC starts up from the 2nd boot device (which is the primary HDD). I'm gonna buy a new DVD drive today.

Plan executed, everything up and running again. Removed IDE devices, tried the new DVD burner and it works like a charm. Also adjusted a little tiny mstake on the cooling department: now the PC is not so noisy and hot anymore

Hot? Did you miss a case fan or something? I'm glad to hear the new dvd works just fine. That is much easier and cheaper than a new MB.

Hey it happens. At least no harm was done. I remember the very first computer I put together I set the voltage wrong (back when MB had jumpers to set the voltage) and turned on the computer. About sixty seconds later I detected the distinct smell of melting plastic emanating from the case. Live and learn!

Have you tested the old IDE devices in the new board yet?
