MP 1,1-5,1 MP3, 1 with Catalina unable to Recovery Mode & Boot from USB Installer

[mactreouser]

Hi,
My MP 3,1 (2008) has installed "Catalina" and run smoothly!

Question:
1) There's definitely NO Recovery Mode for DosDude version? Any alternative way?

2) I'm not able to "Option + Power" to launch the boot from USB Installer. What's your suggestion?

Anyone?

Not sure what you want to do?

Why do you need recovery mode?
Should be able to boot from a USB Installer if its formatted properly and has the right files on it

You can run a dosdude prepared usb stick for recovery. Also you could make a small 16 GB HFSplus partition and install the installer on it so you have a real recovery.

anyway, there is a recovery partition patch in this dosdude tool as well.

Appreciate your replies! I was trying to enter the Recovery Mode and Boot from USB Installer :
Option - Power Button
Power On - Chime sound + Command R

Unfortunately, booth led me to Password Key in Window instead! What's wrong?
