Hi,

The disk may need repairing.

Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.

From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to verify and repair the disk if necessary using macOS Recovery.

Updating a late 2009 iMac I am currently using an outdated iMac. I am trying to download the update to OS X El capitan. I know the entire process however after the os x is done installing my computer does not restart and upgrade. Even when i manually restart it the software stays the same (10.10.5). I need this sorted asap. Thanks
