A sad but interesting example of "if it ain't (really) broken, don't
screw with it".
You said the data was OK originally, so I don't know why simply
disconnecting then reconnecting a drive would render the data bad,
unless you shocked the thing or dropped it or bounced the heads around
or broke a pin or broke the cable. Try a different cable maybe. I don't
know why the data would have been corrupted by disconnecting and
reconnecting other than something physical.
