How to Create a macOS Catalina Public Beta Installation USB

Not open for further replies.
hey all, would you guys throw a bone out to someone who isn't too computer savvy?

I've created my installation media as per the document above... but when I try to select my bootable usb on the pc I am trying to install Catalina to.. I am met with a "missing operating system" message and unable to continue.

The only deviation from the guide that I am referencing at the top of this post is the fact that I am unable to select the partition tab, and then select GUID partition table. I followed everything else exactly as stated in the guide.

As I prefaced, I am not too computer savvy and I've been through all the Catalina forum pages to see if this message has surfaced elsewhere but I am not finding it anywhere.
Waste of time with a GTX 1070, there are no Catalina drivers for it - No Mojave drivers either.
Remove the graphics card and use the processor's integrated graphics or install High Sierra.

I sincerely appreciate the expeditious reply and extra help regarding graphics cards, but I'm still looking to see how to address the missing operating system issue when booting from USB.

Unfortunately this is about as far as I get. I'm a bit puzzled...

@tuncerd : Have you found a solution to this problem?

I'm stuck at a very similar point (see attachment). I used the guide on page 1 and used the provided config and my mojave config.
