Can removing a hard drive damage the power cable/supply?

I read somewhere that it is possible to damage the power cable and/or
power supply by removing the hard drive. Is this true? If so, how and
why? The reason I ask is because I think I might have damaged my own
power supply by doing so. Is there a way to tell for sure, and/or a way
to fix it if I did in fact damage it?
