Well, did you enable FileVault recently because if it's still encrypting you will have to wait until it's done.

In the security preferences, there are a something called "FileVault" this is an encription system for the hard disk, maybe you have activated FileVault recently and the hard disk is being encripted, or may be your hard disk has a problem,

for correct the HD problems you must use Hard Disk Utility's First Aid preferile in recovery mode.

This is because fileVault is still encrypting your hard drive. Make sure your mac is connected to power otherwise the encryption will pause which will in-turn make you continue seeing that message.
