If you restart it in the menu with the mouse or keyboard then it's a "Soft" or normal reboot.
If you have to restart with the power button (or restart button on older Macs) on the side of computer case then its a "Hard" reboot.

∙ 14y agoThere are two types of boots: warm boot and cold boot.
A warm boot is when the power to the computer remains on during the reboot, i.e. from the start menu in Windows, you select to turn off computer, then choose restart (WIN XP), if you choose to shut down the computer (power it off), then the next boot will be a cold boot.
A cold boot is when the computer is powered on.
A warm boot does not perform (depending on configuration) some system integrity checks that are always performed on a cold boot.
