    Are you unable to partition the disk using Bootcamp Assistant and start the installer?

     

    Can you post the output of

     

    1. sudo fdisk /dev/disk0, and,

    2. sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

     

    from Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal?

    1. You may want to remove personal information, if you do not want it to be on a public forum.

    2. The disk has the standard partitions before Bootcamp partitions it. Please run Bootcamp Assistant and partition the disk. If you see any errors, please post back here. You should have enough contiguous space to try the installation.

    1. Go Applications -> Utilities -> Console and type "disk" in the search box, and press enter. Do you see any disk utility error messages? If yes, please post the error messages.

    2. Run the Fdisk and GPT commands and post the output.

    3. After Step 2, run Disk Utility and create a new partition of 40GB and choose MS-DOS as format. If you see any errors post back here.

    In Finder, in the top right hand corner in the search box, type Console and press enter.

    This is what it looks like.

    Please delete the "HARD_DRIVE" if it was partially left, so it is a single partition in DU. Run a Verify disk. If you see any errors, please post back. The worst-case scenario is that the internal disk may be failing. If Verify does not return errors, a partition creation operation can be tried again.

    1. Plug it in via USB.

    2. In Disk Utility check its format. If it is not MAC OS X Extended Journaled, re-format it as MacOSX Extended Journaled.

    3. Take a look at this link to set up TM - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427

    4. Post back if you run into any issues.

    5. If you have successful backup, the backup needs to be restored, which will you give you contiguous space for partitioning.

     

    Post back after backup completes.
