I tried to do an Internet Recovery. Then I came to a window for install OS X. My current version is OS X Yosemite. I click to continue. It varieties computers eligibility, then I click agree to go forward. Next, it says select the disc where you want to install OS X. It won't let me install. What's that mean? Where is the problem? What to do?

  • Why won't it let you install. It's helpful if you tell us what the error message says.

You may need to erase the entire drive. Once you've booted to recovery, use disk utility to repartition your internal drive.

Bear in mind that repartitioning the drive will erase everything. If you don't have a back up of your data and every app (iLife/iWork are not part of the OS) that you want to install, repairing the disc might be a better choice.
