It is important to note, when doing the internet recovery option, your Mac, or I-mac, will install whatever operating system that came on it. For instance, I bought my I-mac in late 2012, and it came with Lion. So, when I did install Mavericks, and had trouble with it, I had to do the internet recovery and once Kion had been installed, I then had to download Mavericks and install it over the top.
