There really is only one way that you can burn out the insulation on a wire like that, and that is with excessive current. I'm guessing there are two potential causes of this:
- The power supply PWM controller network went haywire and overvoltaged the system. - The hard drive had a short in it. Considering no other peripherals in your computers got fried, I'm going to wager that the defect was in the HD. Now might be a good time to take advantage of any warranties. Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

Well, if the warranty gets a new hard drive of the exact same model, then why bother buying it?
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
