amber power light

Hi,

The last time I posted was in reference to a Dell Dimension 8200 that had an amber light. This came on after changing the harddrive. However the harddrive started to smoke, and yes smoke is not a good sign! Now I am trying to resolve this issue. Please not that I have limited experince with hardware devices.
Previous OS- W2K + SP2

Please note that everything was reconnected as it was before.
Could someone help me?

Thanks.
