Q: OS X Could Not Be Installed on Your Computer!
Hello ProEdgeBiker.com,
I understand that you are having an issue with your MacBook Pro 17" installing OS El Capitan. Let's see if we can get it sorted out.
Because you are seeing the File System verify or repair failed alert, check out what the issue could be by using Disk Utility in the OS X Recovery. I have outlined the steps below on what to do.
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck

Try Disk Utility
Use these steps to use the Disk Utility app to verify or repair a disk.
- If you're using OS X Lion or later, start the computer from Recovery System or Internet Recovery. If you're using an older version of OS X and your computer came with a Mac OS X Install disc, insert the installation disc and restart the computer while holding the C key instead.
- When your computer finishes starting up, choose Disk Utility from the Utilities window, or from the Installer menu if you're started from an installation disc.
- Click the First Aid tab.
- Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
- Select your Startup Disk (usually named "Macintosh HD").
- Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
If it repairs itself, then you can try the install again. Let me know what you find out.
Take it easy
I was having the same alert. I tried disk utility but it gives error while running first aid on Macintosh HD. It says First Aid process has failed. Now everytime I restart, disk utility screen shows up. I can't go anywhere. I tried reinstall OS X and it gives error too.
Sorry, i couldn't upload the pics through safari so i made links to the images of the error:

What specific Mac do you have?
Can you boot to Recovery?
