bootcamp fails at reboot
I just bought a brand new Mac Mini (2018) that came with factory installed Catalina. I have tried repeatedly to install Windows via Boot Camp Assistant. But ultimately the Boot Camp Windows installation fails. Here is what I have done:
- I downloaded the ISO for Windows 10, 64 bit
- I turn off all external hard drives
- I run Boot Camp Assistant, with the Windows ISO filled in, and I select 162Gb for the Boot Camp Partition.
- Boot Camp downloads Installation files, and seems to go through the process of partitioning the system disk for the Boot Camp Partition.
- Bootcamp copies files to that partition
- I am then prompted for the administrator password, and provide that and hit return
- It appears that the system gets shut down from Catalina and starts the boot process to Windows
- After Flashing the Windows Logo a few times, the screen goes black, and nothing more happens.
- I am unable to do anything with that Boot Camp partition, and find that I can only re-run Boot Camp Assistant from Catalina, delete the Boot Camp Partition, then recreate a new Boot Camp Partition that fails in exactly the same way as the previous attempt.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get Windows Installed?
