Software cannot cause such hardware failure. What you experienced is a software failure, probably cause by Starforce Nightmare instead. (Are you sure you disabled the right devices?!)

Restore your backups (you have at least one, right?) and/or contact a data salvage company (that won't be cheap!).

Hmm.. If you can boot windows into safemode all is not lost.. Sounds like you screwed your drivers for your Motherboards ATA channels.

Like Joe said you can restore from a backup, in case your not familiar with Sytem restore here is a nice beginner guide:

If that doesn't work, I would go though a repair on Windows with Automated System Recovery. Run the command "reconfigure boot".
