If you have the Mavericks installer on a thumb drive then no problem. Use that to re-install it.

What do you mean - the dmg file?
Did you get this from within the Installer
I.e. Contents/Sharedsupport ?

If you have a Mavericks installer (.app) here are the instructions to create a bootable installer:

...are you trying to do this on an unsupported mac?

If you purchased and downloaded that file from the App Store and then saved a copy of that .dmg file, then you have all you need to create the USB installer.

Is the .dmg file a little more than 5Gb in size? If so, you have what you are looking for to make the USB installer.

And if you got it from apple it would be a .app file not a .dmg file.
