I found on Youtube the sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt6asKkMJq0 my hard drive has when I start my computer, and during work it sounds like this plus spinning sound after that every 5 minutes. What does that sound mean? Does the head scratch the platter or what?
What does this sound mean?

That is not a normal sound. I would suggest a backup of all of your important files. What make/model is your HDD?
With that info, you can get the manufacturer's diagnostic program to check your HDD's health. If defective, it may be time for a warranty exchange or a new HDD.

It's Seagate Pipeline 1 TB. I bought it a year ago. Sometimes when I start computer it starts to spin, but sometimes it starts to spin and stop spinning in a few seconds after starting. That time bios can't detect hard drive. Like there is no hdd, I wait 30 minutes then start again, then it works normally. I don't understand why it stops to spin immediately after starting computer. I only hear 2 scratching sounds (like in the video) and then platter stops spinning.
