Got a feeling you need to create a bootable image onto the USB stick - there's a tutorial floating around. Although I could be thinking about mountain lion...

Indeed. @andyp is the USB drive you're trying bootable?

Right, I need help and I'm hoping someone on here can provide it.
I've an older Mac Book that, for reasons that I can't remember now, I wiped OS X and installed Ubuntu on. I know want to re-install OS X but this is proving impossible. I've a USB stick with the Mavericks Install app on, but when I reboot with the option key held down, it boots up to display the hard drive and the USB drive as expected. If I then click on the USB drive instead of getting the OS X Utilities screen, it boots straight into Ubuntu.
Is there any way other I can reinstall it? I'm thinking I could try and create a dual boot machine, and install it that way, then wipe Ubuntu from OS X once it's installed but am not sure that's possible?
