I am trying to install OS X Mavericks on my Mid-2011 iMac. Before you tell me to upgrade, Mavericks is my favorite version and anything after it runs like crap.

Please help me fix this!

UPDATE: I have successfully been able to fix my problem. I started off by making a Mavericks USB installer, then I made a disk image from the drive. My mistake was making a .cdr file and burning it. I tried again by making a .dmg file instead. I now have Mavericks installed. It also took significantly quicker to get into the recovery menu.
