Hi all,
I am strugging getting Catalina to install on an Asus ROG Strix Z390-F. After a few minutes of the initial copying files to the installation volume I get the error message: An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again.
I have done all the suggested BIOS settings. I am booting fine. I copied the EFI folder from the person who had success with the ROG Strix Z390-I, and since then I have at least made it to the installation screen.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Phil
P.S. I am running an i5-9400 9th Gen, a Radeon RX 570, and have 16GB of RAM in the system in the slots advised by ASUS. Also, I am installing onto an SSD. I have tried on two different kinds. Same result. I also tried the Fix Ownership clover config, as suggested by somebody, and that did not help.
