Don't see that model on the catalina compatibility list:

macOS Catalina is compatible with these computers - Apple Support

You can install macOS Catalina on any of these Mac models.

support.apple.com

That's the point of using the patcher
@noopmac Catalina in not great on suported Macs, maybe stick with Mojave.
I never used the patcher, but the error message seems to be about your Startup Disk, not your USB flash disk.
So, enough space on HGST or Samsung SSD, whichever one you have booted from.

@bogdanw: you'd better have a look at this thread on MacRumors and put your question there!

I had the same thing on my 2011 MBP, exactly the same model! I spent ages searching all the support posts and nothing worked!

The one way that did was as soon as that error came on I clicked OK and tried it again. This has happened for my machine every time I use the patcher. Sometimes it takes 3 consecutive goes other times it took about 10. But then it mounted properly and installed. Have you tried install to this machine? Might work too. Good luck!

Have you tried "install to this machine" rather than to the USB drive? Either way just keep trying it and it will work

Yes, I understand, what do you say.
I will try.

Hey, Howard Ellacott.
I tried to install many times, it warn me and then i click OK, it warn me again, i click OK.
I take many times consecutive.
Then, i clean install high sierra and i tried install Catalina by patcher again, the result still the same.

 

[Howard Ellacott]

The only think I got to work was trying over and over and eventually it worked. It did take many times though the first time around.

I had the same problem, when I tried to make the installer on the old (2011) Mac mini. However, on a new MacBook Air it worked flawlessly. Then the first install stopped with an error message "cannot installed on this Mac", then the next try was OK. So, I am happy now!
