When I try to upgrade my Macbook pro (Late 2011) from lion to Mavericks, the computer restarts and begins to download the new OSX, but then I get a message saying the download failed because OSX can't be installed because a recovery system can't be created. What can I do in order to get Mavericks to work on my computer?
I would suggest that you look at this link and make sure your computer can do Internet Recovery before you make any changes.

You may want to remove personal information from a public forum.
If you have a full backup, would you be willing to erase the disk and install Mavericks from scratch? If you have a time machine backup, you can always restore your account and personal files (without the Lion OS). A backup would be highly recommended before the upgrade any way.
