Good afternoon guys, I would like some help.

I'm trying to install an OS on a MAC (MB061LL/B) late 2007.
As I do not understand much about macs I tried to install Windows 7 (DVD) which gave me an error when I clicked Install.
Then I connected the HDD on my desktop PC and installed the Windows 7, then connected it back to the Mac hoping it would work, it did not.
I downloaded Yosemite and tried to make a bootable USB with TransMac but even holding Option, or holding C or holding Option + Command + O + P it does not recognize it.
On my desktop it recongnizes the USB stick but it's not able to complete the installation.
I tried to burn the dmg file to a DVD but it gives me an error.
(Tried on different USB sticks and different ports)

I don't know anyone who owns a Mac so I cannot copy from their hdd to mine.

Solution
From the images it looks like you are trying to install a Hacked/Hackintosh build of Yosemite onto Genuine Apple Hardware... That ain't going to work... try getting a genuine/real copy of OS X rather than some dodgy down-load.
