Can´t bootcamp due to partitioned fusion drive, while it doesn´t seem to be partitioned.

I had bootcamp time ago, and I quit it cause I didn´t needed it. Now I´m trying to bootcamp again and I can´t because it says my fusion drive is partitioned, but, when I go to About this Mac-Storage it seems that there´s only on drive, and fusion drive isn´t partitioned. What can I do to bootcamp again?

*Bootcamp can´t be installed in partitioned fusion drive. For installing Bootcamp, restaure the units to fusion dirve*


Sorry for Spanish

iMac 21.5" 4K, macOS 10.15

You have a SSD (Apple SSD SM0032) and a HDD (Apple HDD HTS...). If you notice, your APFS container disk is only on the HDD, which is incorrect.


  • Do you have Time Machine backup of macOS and all your files?
  • Can you post the output of
    • diskutil list
    • diskutil apfs list


and we can try to correct the issue. Also, see How to fix a split Fusion Drive - Apple Support for reference.

How do I run bootcamp without fusiondrive?
  • BC Assistant does not support a split Fusion drive.
  • The 120GB SSD part is too small for W10. BCA does not use the SSD part for Windows.
  • You have two options
    • Disconnect the SSD, and install Windows on the HDD, and then reconnect the SSD
    • Use a Virtualization engine to install a VM running Windows
