I faced an issue with my Early 2008 Mac Pro during a Windows 7 installation. After using BootCamp, the Mac restarted and failed to load Windows 7. Now I encounter a black screen with an unclear prompt. I had the boot disk removed by taking apart the Mac, but I'm trying to boot from the Mac OS part of the drive. Someone can assist me with this problem and suggest a solution.

We should identify the specific error message the Mac is displaying. Are you referring to a question mark in a folder, a slash in a circular path, or another format?

It resembles the Windows issue since it gets stuck during the startup process.

I’m not sure if I’ll make it to the boot camp from here.

To start with macOS, press and hold the option key during boot.

I’ll attempt it; if not, I’ll send a message back.

I successfully implemented it now. I'm preparing a new version of snow leopards.
