Mid 2009 MacBook Pro 13” Not booting up+uncounted hard drive

Hello. Disk utility shows my harddrive but it’s lighter in color. It recognizes it and says “uncounted”. What can I do?

Boot into Internet Recovery (Option Command R) and from the dropdown menu: Utilities>  Disk Utility> run the First Aid on your Macintosh HD (and the "Macintosh HD-Data" volume as well if Catalina/Big Sur) If errors are found and repaired, run again until no errors reported.


Disk Utility>View>Show All Devices The best sequence is —

• Volume level

• Container level

• Parent drive
