    Hot unplug sata hdd

    Hello there,
    Please help with the next problem:
    I have instaled Debian, and when I unplug (hot swap) the sata cable of my hdd or the alimentation cable of the hdd, the system stays the same, doesn't respond to my commands but doesn't shut down.
    I would like to know if there is a soft or I have to modify a script (for ex. /etc/init.fd/halt) that will asure me that when I unplung the cables my system will shut down, like in windows.
    Thank you very much for your answers!

    Do you unmount partitions using umount command before unplugging HDD?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
