Getting a circle with a line through it while trying to boot up

I've read some previous suggestions that said to get into the single user mode, and i have done so, but the scrolling text just wont stop. Anybody run into this problem? Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Howdy jdool894,

If you see the prohibitory symblol when starting up your MacBook Pro, you will need to reinstall your operating system using OS X Recovery. See this article - OS X: About OS X Recovery.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Best to you.
