If the PSU has fried itself it is POSSIBLE that a higher voltage spike has gone down one of the wires powering the hard disk and that has possiibly fried the drive.

Happened to a friend of mine, the PSU committed hari-kiri and sent down a spike which was so big one of the chips on the drive went "pop", audibly, before there was a sudden rush to turn off the PC due to smoke.
