Your issue is not drive failure but rather a partition event that went sideways, which is a bit different.Hence, if you are wondering as to why your Mac is so slow to startup, the simple reason is because you have a long list of startup programs, some of which you may not even see because the Hide option is checked in the Settings for the program. Had one internal drive on an iMac fail once after 8 years and one SSD on a Macbook Air fail after 7 years, both were restored (to new devices) from backups.

I must confess, I am of the philosophy of mostly keeping multiple backups of everything and recovering from the backups if anything goes amiss. I have used Disk Warrior and Disk Utility to recover damaged volumes in the past, but those were HFS+ not APFS. Others with more experience than I in this topic area might weigh in with better instructions. Best would be an external drive to boot from and run utilities to see if anything can be recovered, so the problematic drive can be left untouched before any recovery is attempted. I don't even know if you can do that or if that requires reformatting first.

I don't know if it is a good idea to install a new Apple OS on top of the Boot Camp partition. A company handling the fix or recovery could be a lot more. Examples are Drive Savers, Disk Drill, even perhaps Disk Warrior or Tech Tool Pro. Typically the standalone utilities are ~ $100. If you search online for "Mac drive recovery" you will see nearby businesses that can help with this, as well as commercial programs that can be tried and purchased if they look promising. I am aware there are the other options onscreen, but I need additional guidance for me to utilize them. (Time Machine is useless here, as I never bothered making backups in the past) (The option selected is the disk that I always booted up with, and now looks to be completely empty) This is my current screen in disk utility: (No other options, besides booting up with BOOTCAMP as my default) Which brings us to the current state of things: when pressing the ALT key upon a restart, there would be nothing but this:

I then went into the recovery mode to discover that my main Mac OS disk was no longer an option to boot up with when I prompted a restart of the desktop with the recovery screen, I see no sign of the Mac OS disk anywhere. Upon restarting my desktop for the fifth time, I was only able to boot up into the BOOTCAMP disk, which obviously did not allow me to do anything. Now here is where my current issue begins: After going through each option in the disk utility and verifying/repairing every single one, I unmounted the BOOTCAMP disk.

The "BOOTCAMP" startup disk was apparently a medium to start the Windows integration into the desktop, so I rebooted the desktop into the recovery menu in hopes of fixing/repairing the program. and I thought "uh oh", and looked up guides.

This time however, instead of being greeted with a blue Windows logo when done downloading and the pc restarted itself, I saw this: I rebooted the desktop in Mac OS, deleted the partition in Boot Camp and redid the whole procedure. As the Mac did not progress past the logo with no visual cues after an hour of waiting, I thought that it would be a good idea to restart the PC. However, I made my first mistake when I was waiting for the Mac to start up for the first time in Windows, I had decided to restart the desktop. I ran through the typical Boot Camp procedures: downloaded the neccesary Windows program, partitioned the hard drive, and plugged in my usb to install the new copy of Windows. I wanted to install Windows on my Mac for some time, and did that today when I bought a new SanDisk usb drive.

Alright, this is a doozie for me how did my Mac startup disk get seemingly erased?Ĭontext/past actions leading up to this point:
