At startup, your Mac runs the Power-On Self Test. If it passes, the chime is played in software. The ROM loader goes out to the drive specified as the Startup Disk and loads a blob of software from a special place, stores it in memory, and passes control to it.


It proceeds to draw the dark gray Apple (so seeing the Apple says your drive responded in a predictable way) and does a bunch of initialization. Then it needs a whole lot of files to bring in Mac OS X and start it up. It tries to start the File system and Mount the boot drive to read files.


If the drive will not mount, it does the equivalent of a Disk Utility (Repair Disk). The progress Bar will proceed to at least the one-third point.


If your picture is as far as it gets in more than a few minutes, your Boot Disk has stopped responding.


¿what kind of Boot Drive? Rotating magnetic drive, Apple SSD, third-party SSD?
