    The help you need will more than likely be one of the things you've stated you did not want to do.

    Sorry to hear this, but working without a net (a backup) can be risky.

    I'm not positive, but I thing that symbol may be saying that you are trying to boot from a non-bootable drive.

    Try resetting the PRAM, or as a last resort order a dual layer Yosemite (bootable) DVD from Amazon. You can pick these DVD's for less than $20.

    I got the same symbol too. I was with AppleCare for about one hour. They were completely useless. They told me to do exactly what I had already done. Which was to do the control option P, R reboot. And do the options R reboot to reinstall El capitán. That hasn't worked when I tried it and it didn't work for they told me to try it. Finally I'm having to do what I dreaded doing. I'm reinstalling from my Time Machine backup. It is taken eight hours and I have three hours left.

    Not at all happy with El capitán.

    Same here on a MacBook 2009 model. No problems installing and no problems running it.
