Sorry, there is no way in H*** that you will be successful if you
open the drive in whatever you might call a cleanroom, let along
trying to swap the platters. And do check out that recent thread
referenced in another posting.

However, the drive concerned here is only a 200MB drive, so no rocket
science. You might just make it work long enough to recover the data.
I'd guess some blowing of clean, canned air while closing the drive will
also help.
