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?

It is very unlikely that you would have a fault occur in the power
supply, and such would be just a coincidence, and not due to removing
the drive. However of course it is quite possible that the connction
cable could be damaged due to mechanical stress when disconnecting -
especially if you pulled on the cable rather than just the connector.
