Boot camp stuck on Partitioning disk...

Trying to install Win10 on my iMac 27 late 2015 with 1TB Fusion drive running Mojave 10.14.5

but every time it get stuck in "Partitioning disk..." with the progress meter at about 50%.


I've tried both October and April versions of Windows with the same result. And I've tested creating a FAT partition in the disk utility and that worked. Also tried erasing the entire drive and re-installing Mojave.

You have both OSXRESERVED and BOOTCAMP partition. Run



  • Step 1


In your specific case, given the current state, try


diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC1 disk0s3

diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC2 disk0s4


diskutil mergePartitions jhfs+ BCMP disk0s3 disk0s4

diskutil list


  • Step 2


If you see only disk0s3 as the last entry under disk0, then run


diskutil eraseVolume fat32 BOOTCAMP disk0s3


and retry removing the partition using BC Assistant only.

And yes, OSXRESERVED looks fine from what I can tell:

Sure, problem is solved and win10 installed. Guess I just have to clean up the partitions I won't need.


thanks for your help!
