You want as little activity as possible on the IDE bus you are mucking with. You may wish to put all the drives on the bus to sleep with hdparm -Y. You may also want to disable DMA for all drives on the bus - you can do this with hdparm -d0. (You can turn dma back on after everything is plugged in...)
Always disconnect the power connector before the IDE cable. Be careful not to short any of the pins when plugging/unplugging the power connector, as this will probably cause your power supply to shut itself off or just cause a hard reset.
