Install Transmac trial.
Insert the USB drive that you’ll use to fix your installation of OS X. Remember that all the data in the USB will be erased. Make sure you take off any important documents.
Right-click the TransMac software icon and “Run as administrator”. You’ll be prompted to “Enter Key” or “Run”, because we’ll be using it once, click “Run”.
On the left pane, you’ll see all the Windows PC drives listed. Right-click the USB drive you’re intending to use to reinstall Apple’s OS X and click “Restore with Disk Image”.
Use the “Restore Disk Image to Drive” dialog box to browse for the DMG file with the installation files (for Mac OS X Yosemite in this case), and click OK to create a bootable USB of the Operating System.
Now wait. Go have a snack. Do your anterior pelvic shift exercises. May take 1-2 hours.
Once your bootable USB installation media is ready, remove it and insert it into your Mac, power it on, holding down the Option key, and select the USB you just created to reinstall Mac OS X.
If you’re having issues trying to create a bootable media, you can get a USB flash drive that comes with Mac OSX ready to install.
