Firmware Partitions

Hi! I've been trying to download High Sierra (using a flashdrive w/ the update on it, 32GB) to a 2010 MacBook Pro in recovery. when i try to click the drive, it says that i can't install this volume because the computer is missing a firmware partition, does anyone know how to fix this?

Your bootable device was created on this or another Mac with createinstallmedia, correct?

Wipe the target volume, select GUID/GPT partitioning, and HFS+ file system, and try again?
