out of place question

Lately my hard drive has been acting weird. When I cold booted the hard drive would not start to spin, but when I disconnected its power and plugged it back in it would start spinning and I was able to restart it fine. But the other day I cold booted and it didn't start to spin so I reconnected it. But this time it didn't start spinning. I tried different connectors, different PSU, and on a different computer. Still not working, is it dead?

Cold boot is when you start the computer after it's been sitting a while I think. Or it might just be when you shut down the computer, and then you press the button to start it. And a warm boot is when you are like in DOS or something and press Ctrl+Alt+Del and the computer restarts. I'm not exactly sure though. It's gonna take forever to redownload all my stuff
