partitioning disk error
when I get to the partitioning disk part of the bootcamp process, the blue bar which shows the progress of the partitioning goes full and does not change.

Rebuild MBR to match the new GPT information thus resetting the Hybrid MBR. Use defaults for other questions (like partition codes). The only values that need modifications are the Boot flags and step 10. Accept all other defaults that Gdisk offers. Please see thesample Q&A as an example. These steps can be repeated if you make a mistake before you get to Step 12, otherwise start from Step 1 for these steps. Step 6 has numbers which are typed with a space between the numbers. Please see the sample Q&A before you execute these steps.
Here is sample Q&A for this section. Please notice the Press Enter/Return.
Place EFI GPT (0xEE) partition first in MBR (good for GRUB)? (Y/N): Y
Creating entry for GPT partition #2 (MBR partition #2)
Enter an MBR hex code (default AF): Press Enter/Return
Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): N
Creating entry for GPT partition #3 (MBR partition #3)
Enter an MBR hex code (default 07): Press Enter/Return
Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): Y
Post the output of
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
for validation.
the BCA is still attempting to partition the disk yes
MacOS 10.13 and how do I make a FAT (or exFAT) partition
yeah sorry I am on 10.15.3 and I have now added the (FAT) partition.
ok, I have one with 32gb
I ran
diskutil unmountDisk disk4 and diskutil eject disk3
I removed the FAT partition, ran a SMC and NVRAM reset, and BC Assistant is still not working
it still hangs on partitioning
Do you have a Time Machine backup?
my last backup was in 2017 so I tried to make a new one but it is not working, shown in the second screenshot.
Is the TM destination a directly-attached disk or a NAS or Time Capsule?
I do not have a a directly-attached disk, a NAS or Time Capsule

I do not have any external disks, this Mac was previously owned by my dad and he says he doesn't think he has it
yes
ok, that is done
i got through to this point but when i got to to option of choosing the available partitions (second photo) it would not let me chose it,
