<< Solved >> Help with first time creating a hackintosh!

I followed the guide to a T. All the bios settings and created my bootable usb stick. But the bios isn’t detecting my usb drive as bootable. Shows it along with the internal ssd but that’s it. Trying to install Catalina!

Does it show UEFI PMAP? If so select that.
Check CSM enabled or disabled try both. Look for UEFI boot option for storage or USB support.

Have you tried all the USB ports? The rear ports?
DID you use UEFI mode when creating the USB?

Yeah, I did. No luck. I've been at this for hours doing all kinds of research and no luck.

How did you create the USB? do you have access to a Mac or Hackintosh?
If so plug in the USB and check the EFI Partition. EFI Mounter v3.1

I used Unibeast on my MacBook Air 2020. I'll download that program though!

Figured it out and I feel like an idiot. I was on a MBR partition table instead of GUID. It’s booting now. Thanks for your help, I’ll be sure to refer back if I have any other issues!

Would you be able to help me with drivers? I haven't touched it since I got macOS installed but I'm now back at it but having troubles getting the right drivers. I'm on Catalina
