Default all ide devices fried?

Quick summary:

Dell Dimension 8200, p4, rambus ram...good machine

Customer had cd-rom go bad, called in his 3-year parts and labor, and a tech
came out installed new cd drive....

Computer ran fine for 12 hours...Shut down, upon boot-up windows xp went
into checkdisk, then did a "memory dump", and shut down....

So then the computer would not recognize any ide devices, cd-rom's or
harddrives....

I figure mobo is hosed (ide controller), so I call dell....I did say its
possible all ide devices are fried.....

Well take the hard drive home, and it wont recognize on my machine......

How can all ide devices get fried like that? Any tricks to getting this hard
drive to work to get the data?

TIA
