it doesn't seem logical that by removing a CD ROM your motherboard dies.
also if you changed nothing then the HDD should still be recognised.
Please double check that the jumpers are in Master (HDD) and Slave (CD) if they sit on the same IDE. The only other alternative would be that athey are both in CS mode but then the IDE MUST be CS compatable, with either a pin missing around or a cutout inthe cable towards the side that has no colour.Do not confuse the blanked out pin in the centre with the missing pin
