Cable Burnt Due To hard disk

Mine Problem :-

i connected sata hard disk and it burnt the power cable connected to hard disk and also assembly power supply cable.

The cable burnt was red and black colour any idea why it burnt .
when i removed sata hard disk everything was ok.

Is there any chance hard disk is faulty.
i purchased hard disk 2 days ago only .
but i connected today only and as soon as it is connected cable burnt.

The hard disk is 320 GB sata.
When i called computer techinan he told may be it is becauce your power supply is outdated , so he brought 400 W power supply and the cable of that is also burned by hard disk. Other things are working ok when connected to computer.

All other 2 hard disks is IDE and DVD Writer is also IDE , Only Sata Hard disk is giving problem.

The computer techinan told it is because hard disk is faulty.
i purchased hard disk 1 day ago only . It is seagate and the plastic cover in which hard disk came was written " made in china "

is china made hard disk is unreliable, i purchased hard disk from big dealer in thane/mulund area.

The hard disk is 320 GB sata.

Hahhahahaha...Buddy..99.99% stuff you use in your computer come from china. Thats because almost all big names in business have their manufacturing plants based in China due to cheap labour and attracting government policies.

So stay cool..thers nothing to worry abt..at least for this !
