Hi there. What is happening is single user Tried to repair the disk but cannot. You have a disk error that it can't repair.If you can get it to run in safe mode ,you could back up your personal files. Then you have two options Clean install the operating system or replace the internal drive. If you know someone that has an install disk. Ether a universal install that will install on any mac or a install disk for Macbook's, that you can use or copy as bootable to a flash drive. You could then try a clean install. Using disk utilities in the install drive ,you erase the entire drive and then partition it to one partition, select option and select GUID then run partition and then install operating system.
