Yosemite won't install after formatting

[starski0]

I tried to perform a clean install of my early 2011 MacBook Pro to upgrade it to Yosemite according to the instructions on this page:

http://macs.about.com/od/OS-X-Yosemite/ss/Perform-a-Clean-Install-of-OS-X-Yosemite-on-Your-Macs-Startup-Drive_3.htm#step-heading

I had already upgraded to Mavericks this way.

I both booted and formatted my entire hard drive in the disk utility from the external drive containing the Yosemite installation files. However, errors were occurring during the installation. So now I have no system =(

I am trying now to recover from the Internet accessed by pressing Command+R when initializing. The screen is stuck with a picture of a Globe and a message saying it may take a while.

I'm wondering how can the PC even know which network to connect before it downloads an OS.

I'd appreciate any tips on how to fix this.

Thanks

I've had issues with a Yosemite USB installer so I just the internet recovery.

As far I know it's normal for it to remember the network you were connected to.

Just let it run - it has to download the entire installer so it may take a while.
