Made a Bootable USB of Tahoe .....

[James Borne]

Made a Bootable USB of Tahoe using both Balena Etcher and the Win32diskimage app and my PC won't boot to the USB stick.

I currently have Sequoia and want to do a clean install of Tahoe, any ideas why my pc wont boot of the USB i made of Tahoe?

I tried all usb ports on the back of my PC, both USB2 and USB3. and still no go.

Use olarila efi folder

Im, sorry, not sure what you mean by using  olarila efi folder? Can you elaborate? Im just use to creating a bootable usb off of any of the MacOS's and it just works, I never had any issue in the past with Olarila raw files.

Do I just drag and drop efi folder on my bootable usb stick?

Thank you so much, I appreciate all the help.. 🙂
 

Hi Admin, I created the bootable usb successfully by replacing the existing EFI with the one you provided, I have a 10th gen intel core i9 cpu witch is Comet lake. And for graphics I have a AMD Radeon rx 6800xt. Now when I try to boot off the Tahoe USB, it just goes thru a boot loop. Do I need to do any commands before booting? Like disabling the igpu? Or I checked all bios setting s and everything is good to go. Also I have a gigabyte Z490 Designaire. Not sure why it’s bootlooping. I never had any issues before like with Sonoma or Sequioa. Not sure why Tahoe is any different. Please help if you can. Let me know what other info you need. Thank you so much
