Could also have been a loose cable. Completely unplug (both ends) all the cables, and then plug them back in. I've had cables come loose over the years, especially back in the IDE days. It's easy to overlook, because the cables can look like they're properly seated.

I've had it happen to me a few times with SATA cables that don't have a clip (or the socket can't use it, like before SATA 300). IDE sticks in there so well that I think I'm going to damage something when pulling a cable out.

I checked that, and used canned air to blow out the sockets before reconnecting everything. It was honestly just a case of internal stiction that needed to be freed before the drive could spin up.
