Hi MeSanginSista,
A folder with a question mark indicates that your Mac forgot where to start up from.
Try resetting NVRAM. If that doesn't work, try these steps:
- Power on your Mac while holding down the Option key.
- Release the key when your startup disk appears, or when you're prompted to connect to a Wi-Fi network.
- If your startup disk appears (usually Macintosh HD), hold down the Control key as you hit Enter (Return).
- If you don't see your startup disk, please let me know.
