I have a Problem at Time i write a Bios for computercraft and i dont know where the problem is i get the error "startup:295: Expected String"
os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
term.setTextColor(colors.white)
term.clear()
local StFile = nil
local filePath = "system32/kernel/bos/startup"
local fileHandle = fs.open(filePath, 'r')
StFile = textutils.unserialize (fileHandle.readLine(1))
fileHandle.close()
function PKey() --Bootmenu Key
while true do
  local event, key = os.pullEventRaw("key")
 
  if key == keys.f12 then
shell.run("system32/kernel/bos/bios")
    break
  end
end
end

I don't see any problem on line 295, any chance you have accidentally fixed it in copying your code into your post?

Also, fake loading screens are despised on the forums.

Not only that, but the code here code greatly be shortened by using for loops

Lines 4-9
local StFile = nil
local filePath = "system32/kernel/bos/startup"
local fileHandle = fs.open(filePath, 'r')
StFile = textutils.unserialize (fileHandle.readLine(1)) --#My comment here, StFile is now a TABLE.
--#Also, readLine reads only the next line, it doesn't take a line number
fileHandle.close()

Lines 290-292
if fs.exists(StFile) then
term.clear()
shell.run(StFile)
Do you see your problem? You cannot use fs.exists on a table (Or nil, as I suspect it's turning into). It's expecting a string. Don't unserialize an apparent file name.

Edit: I also agree with the above, don't really like fake loading screens. Most games that do have loading screens (I'm meaning like flash games or whatevs) only really use the loading screens as a way to show the user that while it's taking time, it's still progressing. It's doing other stuff than just printing to the screen that it's progressing.

For example, this sort of thing:

And you could even shorten the second block by using the modulo operator and ternary operators.
for i = 1, 6 do
  term.setCursorPos(33,9)
  print( i % 2 == 0 and " " or "_" )
  sleep(0.1)
end
The only difference with this is that you may want to increase the amount of times to loop.
