I attempted to upgrade from Mavericks to El Capitan and my macbook Pro gives the following message: File system verify or repair failed. I seem to be in an endless loop, trying to restart and ending at this same message everytime. Can anyone explain or help?

To begin troubleshooting, I suggest reading over and working through the information included in the following article.
