It is not possible to damage a hard drive by what you described. You should recheck that all the connections are secure. Maybe you plugged it back together improperly. For example, you can mix up the connector on the IDE cable. Each connector is a different color. They are not all the same.

There are other possibilities like electrostatic damage.
