No it is command R.
To do a clean install you need to erase your hard disc from within the
Disk Utility also in the recovery console.
Remember the famous tricky part when you come to sign into the App Store
though to be honest I have done this a few times now and it no longer
seems tricky.
1. You initially appear not to be able to access the login page.
2. Press VO F2 twice to bring up the window chooser. You may have to add
the FN key to VO depending on your settings.
3. Make sure you are in the sign in to app store window.
5. Press VO Command F5 to make sure your mouse is focussed on the sign
in window.
6.Press Shift VO space bar to simulate a mouse click
7. You should now be able to sign in mormally to the
App Store and download your OS.

Ok, firstly, you are suggesting a different key combo, so did you mean to say
command options r? And secondly, this recovery partition, if I don’t want to
reinstall Mavericks, but want to go for a clean install of Yosemite, can I do
that from in there?
Thanks -

Actually hit cmd option r at start up and wait for about 30 seconds, then
bring up voice over. You will then have the recovery partition.
Take care

Question says it all.
I’m wondering this as I wish to do a reinstall of the OS on my Macbook Pro but
can’t bring up the recovery boot process, I shut the computer down and then
restart whilst holding down the option key, I hold this down for 15 seconds or
so.
Then I use the left arrow key to hopefully select the recovery utility or
whatever its called and then press enter but unfortunately the Macbook boots up
as it normally should.
Yes, I’ve tried hitting the right arrow after releasing the option key at start-up
<smile>.
I take it the option key is the key next to command?
