[QUOTE="jman995x, post: 1813830, member: 58170"] Duh...too much multitasking...forgot to read the rest of the document on how to create the bootable installer. Having said that, I've done everything the instructions said, but received a slightly different completion message than the screenshot on the webpage. I'm assuming, though, that the process was completed correctly. [ATTACH=FULL]29293[/ATTACH] Now... The process changed the name of my 64GB USB drive to "Install macOS Mojave" and shows it mounted in the Finder menu on the left...HOWEVER, said USB is NOT showing up as an option in my Preferences > Startup Disk screen. [ATTACH=FULL]29294[/ATTACH] I'm assuming because this is the INSTALLER APP, and not the actual OS, correct? If I'm correct in that assumption, I then am going to restart my computer in Recovery Mode and when asked where I'd like to boot from just choose the USB Stick and the rest of the process should be self evident, correct?
