HDD Corrupted and File system verify or repair failed in Disk Utility

I was reformatting and external HDD on my MBP Mid 2012 non retina, when I decided to abort the process. There was no option to stop or cancel in Disk Utility so I held the power button for 8 secs. It turned off.


Now it can't turn on. I get the white apple screen and the loading bar. It loads till about 80% then the computer shuts down.


I have managed to boot into recovery mode and now from an external HDD running Max OS. I have run First Aid in Disk Utility and I get the following message.

Please could someone enlightened me on what I should do next?

I can access my files in the Macintosh HD when booting from the external drive. And I will be backing up my most important data.


But after this,

(a) would a reinstall of OS X on Macintosh HD solve the issue; or

(b) do I need to reformat and reinstall, or

(c) is the internal HDD busted and I have to change it to a new one.


You help will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

MacBook Pro, null

I have solved this issue in the following manner.


1. Installed OS X on an external HDD.


2. Connect to MacBook and boot from external HDD. Back Up all important data from MBP. Shut Down. Disconnect External HDD.


3. Boot into recovery mode. I chose to boot into the internet recovery mode. Cmd + Option + R


2. Connect to Wifi network.


3. Choose Disk Utility. Select Macintosh HD (Or whatever you renamed your HDD to). Click Erase. (Be sure to move the slider to an option that is NOT on the extreme left "fastest", as that does not properly delete and reformat the HDD). I moved it 1 step to the right so it writes on the HDD and deletes the info a couple of times.


4. Reinstall OS X.


5. Set Up Mac Book


6. Good as new.
