Please descibe the "electrified wires" in detail. Do they smell like buring, have burnt spots, or get extremely warm? Also, are there any other physical problems such as a clicking noise, or no noise at all coming from the drive when it normally boots up?
It sounds like a critical boot file is missing, and not just a windows file, but perhaps an actual drive protocol, and it was caused by a short in the wires.
If that turns out to be true, you will need a new harddrive, and I doubt you'll ever recover any files from this one.
