Disconnect any external drives Except the Bootable Installer of Yosemite. Shutdown computer and connect to charger. Restart and Hold Option key immediately. This will load the Boot Manager with several options. Choose Disk Utilities and View ALL connected devices. Choose on Left panel the Upper Most Drive usually called Apple SSD ( if SSD drive installed ). On Tool Bar choose Erase and below that Format HFS ( Journaled ) and below that Scheme: GUID Partition Map. The choose Erase and give the drive name Macintosh HD. Once it finishes, back out of Disk Utilities and choose Instal MacOS ( MacOSX ) and let it install and reboot to finish the installation. It will automatic reboot when finished and present the Setup Assist
