Trying to Install OS X Yosemite after Disk Erase
I have an old Macbook Pro (2009) which I was running OS X Yosemite on. I did an erase of the Macintosh HD Disk in the Disk Utilities based on some advice on this forum. Now I am trying to reinstall the OS X Yosemite software post-erase and it will not even start the process. The Disk Utility prompts that it will verify my computers eligibility with Apple from there I get an error screen stating "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again." I have turned it off and on a few times, to no avail.
I do not currently have any original Snow Leopard software discs that I can use to do a software install that way. Is there a way around this?
MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.10
