The tiniest bit of dust or the smallest amount of static electricity can destroy heads. Since you have already opened the drive and moved platters, the only thing you can do now is insure the electronics and microcode language on the chipsets are identical. You have to make sure that the model numbers of the drives are exact, there can be no discrepancies at all. You will probably run into problems with the service area. To read the data off of the platters, you will have to re-write the service area to accommodate the old drives chipset information. there are special boards that are used to create and manage service areas of hard drives. that is the place to start. Ronald,

Can the data be recovered now. I am still having problems? ok, I have replaced the platters from one case to another. Can the data be recovered now. I am still having problems?

However, platters should not come out of rotation. Even more importantly they should be kept in sync horizontally. There are several things to keep in mind.
