Try going to Recovery boot again, or if you have a bootable back up, try starting up with that. I am thinking that it detected the original download. Always clone first before upgrading anything. You downloaded the El Capitan installer to your hard drive, then copied it to a flash drive creating a bootable drive. I will stop there in fear I may be answering questions/issues you do not actually have.
If/when it does not it may just be faster to wipe the disk, format it, load El Capitan, then transfer over your data, but that is a royal pain I know. No criticism, it took me a few tries to create a "bootable" disk for El Capitan.Īnyways, once you have preserved your data, you can try Disk Utility to see if it can fix the problem. It reads like maybe your Installation on your Flash Drive was not complete? It seems to me if it was, you could boot off of that. So now you can work on fixing your system knowing that you have not lost your data.

When you get Your Friend to loan you his Mac for a day or what have you, copy your data on that Ext-HD once it gains access to your HD through Target-Disk-Mode. Pretending that you have NOT done that, get said External HD. If you have done that, then you can trouble-shoot knowing that one you get your operating system fixed you can recover anything lost. So how does this at all help you now? A lot depends on whether or not you have saved your data.

Obviously, I cannot access the drive to remove whatever install media is present on that disk. That ought to reinstall El Cap and not your previously installed OS. I tried to start in recovery mode, also in safe mode with the progress bar appearing after each attempt. Boot OS X Recovery by holding and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. After walking away for an hour or two, I powered the machine down, restarted it with the option button to get the start up disk manager but only got the apple logo and progress bar, again. I restarted and got a progress bar (Apple logo above) which never fully finished, or it did but nothing happened. I clicked, installation (from bootable flash drive) it stated to restart, with this done a message came that there was installation media on the destination volume, try again. A screen shows up with the 10.11 logo stating to install click continue, agree to terms and install OS, I got the option to use disk utility, time machine or recovery or click the install button. The install of El Capitan, at least what I thought was the installation, took a while. My machine: mid 2007 24" iMac, 2 GB RAM Intel Duo, 667MHz, 2.8GHz, 500GB HD, superdrive, OS X 10.8
