Feb 21, 2015 11:10 AM in response to majid khaliliby Loner T,Because you have a non-standard configuration with 10 partitions, you are running into issues. You Mac does not support UEFI either, otherwise BC would also work with these many partitions.

Feb 21, 2015 11:24 AM in response to Loner Tby majid khalili,about the number of partitions i don't think if there is a problem with that , but about UEFI support i really don't know ( i don't know even if that something hardware related or software ) , but as u say its something that mac doesn't support .

Feb 21, 2015 12:42 PM in response to majid khaliliby Loner T,★HelpfulYour Mac - How to identify MacBook Pro models - Apple Support is a 2010 model and does not support UEFI. There is a problem with your 10 partitions and Bootcamp. Bootcamp will not support more than 4, even though the Mac can support up to 128.

May 16, 2015 1:02 PM in response to Loner Tby majid khalili,loner another question , its really making me crazy .
if i merge all the partition together and get only one partition , does BC support that or not ?

May 16, 2015 2:26 PM in response to majid khaliliby Loner T,★HelpfulYes. My suggestion is to backup all your current partitions, including OS X, erase the internal drive, restore OS X from backup and try BCA again.
On a Yosemite machine with Bootcamp, which is preUEFI, this is the final state.
