OSX Internet Recovery from Mavericks to Tiger?

Want to go from OSX Mavericks back down to original OSX 10.4 Tiger on a mid-2007 iMac.

Can this be done with Internet Recovery? If not, is there another way?


Thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

That's impossible. The earliest OS X version you can install through Internet Recovery is OS X Lion.


In case you want to go back to Mac OS X Tiger, you need the DVDs that came with your Mac. They should have a special Mac OS X Tiger version designed for your Mac, and from that you can update Tiger to the latest version. (Anyway, I do not recommend you to go back to Tiger unless there's a very strong reason).
