Installation of El Capitan from snow leopard - Problems

Hi everyone,

I've problems to install the new OS El Capitan from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

The installer starts but then there is an error that has not been able to install the software.

Does anyone know how to fix?


Thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

One thing that can stop the installation is file errors with the hard drive. Boot to the Snow Leopard DVD, or from another bootable drive/partition with Snow Leopard on it and run Repair Disk in Disk Utility on the drive you are trying to install El Capitan on. If it finds any errors, repeat the Repair Disk function until it states there are no errors. Then try installing El Capitan again.
