If it was happening to me I would cancel the install. Then verify the the target drive to see if there is a problem.
If you have n additional spare drive I would clone the main drive the spare drive so you end up with two copies of your drive. Next I would be tempted to boot from a cloned copy and then reformat the potentially faulty drive and then clone back to the target drive. Reboot from your main drive Then re try the install with the Yosemite Install app file placed in your download folder.
