This unit has a switching power supply. Generally this means that it will accept both American and European supply voltages. Can anyone confirm this for me please?

Not a solution but a question that might get you closer to resolving this. Have you attempted to connect to any other computer with your D-888. Did this work?
110 will not damage it, just will not work, if built in power supply should say on the rating plate next to power input the voltage it is able to take, a lot of units are rated 110-240v some will have a small switch to change over from 110 to 240. Other than that, you will need to get a step up unit to supply 240 from 110 just a small transformer unit.
It is asking for confirmation that you want to initialize the unit. The manual doesn't say anything about this... but you should try pressing the "Yes" button to confirm you want to initiallize the unit or press no if you want to staart without initializing.
The hard drive has probably failed. In spite of it rotating, the head servo and electronics has to work. I would recommend testing the drive in a computer to see if it works. You will likely have to reformat it after if it does work. FIRST look for obvious things in the D888 like cable that is partially off or loose.
Most common cause are failed connectors. Power inout jack failures are common. Beyond that, tracing out the power input for a failure would be in order.
First thing would be to check the power supply voltages. It may be the disk drive is failing. Drives are inexpensive, might be worth a try with a new drive. Also check that cables to the drive have not been loosend by handling.
I have been trying to find a schematic, however the damage should be limited in the unit.
Since there is only 9VAC input, we know that it has to go through a rectifier and a filter capacitor and then likely a regulator. I doubt the problem goes beyond the regulator.
The screen light MAY be independent of the logic power in the unit, the LED's will NOT be independent.
The voltage rating of the fuse is NOT a problem.
You likely blew out the rectifiers as a start. They may be individual diodes or a small module with four diodes inside.
The diodes SHOULD have survived but check them with an ohmmeter on the diode range. The Filter cap may be destroyed, and alsothe regulator which is likely a three terminal one like a 7805.
Only if it has a switch that changes over to 220. I beleave, if not ten you will have to get a power inverter for the power difference and plugs for the different styles that they have over in europe. I hope this helps.
