Creation of bootable USB drive for OS install failing
Following the instructions in https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372 I tried to create a bootable USB drive to re-install Monterey once I reformat my hard drive. I have gotten the same error twice, the log from the Terminal is:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/target
Ready to start
To continue we need to erase the volume at /Volumes/target.
If you wish to continue type (Y) then press return: Y

Any thoughts on what is going on?
