I've never seen that error message before?

 

What is your process?

 

Explain what you did to get to that window?

 

How many drives do you have?

 

Do you have a USB flash drive?  

 

How many partitions exist?

 

Have you dual booted before?  

 

Do you know what MBR is?

looks like you trying to install mac on ntfs partitioned hdd, 

you say you just installed windows 10 , if you only have 1 hdd its a long process ,in case you have another bootable hdd with os then boot into that and erase your windows 10 partition/hdd and make 2 partitions one formatted to ntfs for windows and another formatted to gpt (  mac os journaled) .

install windows 10 to ntfs partition     and then try to install 

mac os x on gpt partition.

 

please post more details of what you plan to do.i am only guessing here.

Hi, I hit the same problem.

 

Here is my config: Optiplex760, Core2 Duo E8400 @ 3 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 250 GB HD, ATI Radeon 256MB PCI Express DMS-59 Graphics Card.

El Capitan 10.11 USB installer was created from El Pwn Version.dmg and Transmac (I have no Mac), works fine, boots into OS X. I reformatted onboard 250GB HD to 1 partition Mac OS Extended (journaled), but after language selection installation stalls with the same message:

 

OS X cannot be installed on your computer

OS X El Capitan is already installed on this Mac
Quit the Installer to restart your computer and try again

you need to increase EFI partition if you want to dual boot with windows in uefi mode,,

if you still can't, maybe you need to use kernel patch for your CPU..
