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

Ok, I´m done, just needed to know if I was really partitioned or was a weird bootcamp error. Thanks
