Your new HDD is dead I'm afraid.
If you want to make absolutely sure you can try hooking it up to another computer, but I really don't think it'll help.

That's not a brand of PSU by the way. See if you can find a partnumber. The fact that the brand and model are not immediately obvious is a bad sign though, probably a really cheap offbrand PSU. Those things can be downright dangerous.
