Hey, I run into a issue when booting into the Mac OS Catalina Installer it won't show me any internal SATA Connections only USB Connections and if I use an SATA to USB Adapter the HardDrive shows up and installation completes with no Errors, but if I plug the HardDrive back in it Bots HalfWay and then it comes up with a prohibited sign and in the -v Boot mode it will freeze at the Reading the APFS FileSystem and after 30 seconds it will show the prohibited sign even after i installed the 3dParty SATA Driver.
I don't now what to do pls Help.

My Specs:
ASUS P6T SE Motherboard
Intel Core I7 @ 950 3.07 Ghz CPU
16 GB DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GTX 1060 5GB GPU
1TB SAMSUNG SSD

also your nvidia card is not supported, you will have to replace it with a compatible AMD card

yes, having correct BIOS settings helps

also using compatible hardware will also help
