Have you tried:


Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Lion


Boot to the Recovery HD:


Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.


Repair


When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Now, re-run the Yosemite installer application or re-download it if you don't have it yet. If you are getting server errors, then you will need to check your internet connection and service or wait to try another time.

Yes. You can upgrade from Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks to Yosemite. No need to upgrade to all of them. You can upgrade from any one of them.


What version of OS X was originally installed on your computer? Are you thinking of erasing the drive and installing Lion before upgrading to Yosemite?

I'm not following. Mountain Lion does not come on a CD or DVD. You must purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. If you purchased it in the past you can still re-download it.


Please provide complete information. It isn't clear what you are doing. If you are running 10.4 Server, then you will need to erase it in order to install any OS X upgrade starting from Snow Leopard.
