Power on your Macbook Pro and immediately press and hold CMD+R to boot to recovery:
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support

If you cannot access OS X Recovery, then boot to Internet Recovery by holding ALT+CMD+R.


Once OS X Recovery is loaded, connect your Macbook Pro to Wifi if necessary and choose Re-install OS X from Utilities Window:

OS X Yosemite: Reinstall OS X


If You do not have an access to Macintosh HD, then you might have to first re-format disk/partition:

OS X Yosemite: Erase and reinstall OS X


If your Mac is older generation Mac, that came with OS X 10.6.x Installation Discs, and you do not have access to Recovery Partition, then you might have to install 10.6.x Snow Leopard first, upgrade to 10.6.8 and re-download OS X Yosemite via App Store:
