Boot Camp Assistant freezes when partitioning disk

Hi, I've tried to run Boot Camp Assistant several times and each time it does not progress psst the partitioning disk part.


I have fire vault and Time Machine both turned off.


I'm running Mac OS X 10.14.5. on a Late 2015 iMac 5k.


The OS has just been freshly installed.


My diskutil list output is as follows-


Ians-iMac:~ iandickson$ diskutil list


/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):


   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Each time I do remove the partition that seems to be created when Boot Camp Assistant runs.


it never actually declares that it fails, it just doesn’t progress past around 50% (I left it running for a couple of hours).


i have no external devices connected apart from the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and also a G-Drive then is t powered up but is connected to a thunderbolt port.
