Mohave install "damaged core storage users

Late 2016 MacBook Pro In trying to install Mohave, I am told I cannot install on my 2T solid drive because of "Damaged Core Storage Users."

I have tried regular install, Restart in "Safe" mode, and use internet recovery to install. Same message on all.


Computer runs fine. Latest version of software including High Sierra is installed.

I thought it might be a glitch caused by software. In addition to Mac OS, I run Windows 10 on Parallels. There are two programs that I run on widows. One is a caselaw program and the other is an on line prepare bankruptcy petitions program that is not compatible with Safari or Firefox. I have to run Internet Explorer.
