Hey, would it be possible one. 32GB USB stick to use as an alternative HDD or SSD.? If so, how do I have to format the USB stick so that it counts as an HDD hard drive without problems during the installation? is first of all only an alternative because my logic board would only be there in 2 weeks. In 2-4 days I will get a USB to SATA cable with which it could theoretically run like before. I would only be interested if a USB stick with 32GB could replace an HDD where I theoretically don't need a bootable USB stick via recovery (CMD + Alt + R). I just don't know how I have to format the USB stick so that it is recognized as an HDD and thus temporarily have MacOS again, yes, with little memory, but it should be enough for my project.
I want to use the installation directly from the Apple servers in Recovery (CMD + Alt +R) without a boot stick and use my 32GB stick as an HDD alternative so that MacOS runs on the 32GB stick.
only we would have to format the usb stick in such a way that Apple thinks it is an external hard drive. Or is 32GB not enough? I'm always stuck in the stick, maybe I'll upload a photo. Nothing happens further than what can be seen on my MacBook. I know it can take up to 24g but I've been trying to install it for 48 hours with no success
I just have to know how to format the USB so that it is recognized as an HDD because I've already tried it but I'm in the middle of a problem...
I heard that Mac OS Extended (HFS+) should work, but it didn't work for me. After formatting I go to install Mac OS Catalina and it does everything perfectly except for a bit from about 80% even got to the gray screen with a mouse but nothing more came and that after 48 hours
