The following guide is a complete walkthrough for installing a fresh version of OS X Yosemite. It requires no experience and all of the necessary installation and post-installation tools are available on tonymacx86.com. 
 
UniBeast is a tool that creates a bootable installer out of your downloaded version of OS X. In order to start fresh, you'll need access to a functional computer running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or later. This is a requirement, as you need access to the Mac App Store to download OS X and create the installation drive. To start from scratch, booting the 10.6 Snow Leopard Retail DVD directly, check out <a class="externalLink" href="http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/iboot-multibeast-install-mac-os-x-on.html" style="background-color: #fcfcff; border-radius: 5px; color: #1a0dab; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.28px;" target="_blank">iBoot + MultiBeast</a>.

If you have trouble reaching the installer, type -x at the Boot screen as shown below. You can type the boot flagsGraphicsEnabler=Yes, PCIRootUID=1, maxmem=4096, maxmem=8192, and npci=0x2000 by themselves or together in order to solve boot issues for older graphics cards and machines. Type -v to bypass the Apple boot screen and enter verbose startup mode. X58 and X79 systems always need npci=0x2000. For further explanations of boot flags, check out the post <a class="internalLink" href="http://www.tonymacx86.com/basics/104536-troubleshooting-issuing-boot-flags.html" style="background-color: #fcfcff; border-radius: 5px; color: #1a0dab; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.28px;">here</a>.

The following guide is a complete walkthrough for installing a fresh version of OS X Yosemite. It requires no experience and all of the necessary installation and post-installation tools are available on tonymacx86.com. UniBeast is a tool that creates a bootable installer out of your downloaded version of OS X. In order to start fresh, you'll need access to a functional computer running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or later. This is a requirement, as you need access to the Mac App Store to download OS X and create the installation drive. To start from scratch, booting the 10.6 Snow Leopard Retail DVD directly, check out <a class="externalLink" href="http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/iboot-multibeast-install-mac-os-x-on.html" style="background-color: #fcfcff; border-radius: 5px; color: #1a0dab; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.28px;" target="_blank">iBoot + MultiBeast</a>.
