Bootcamp Partitioning - Catalina 10.15.5

Is anyone having any problems installing Windows using Bootcamp? I keep getting the following error saying it can't partition the hard drive:


Boot Camp Assistant was unable to verify if the Windows partition contains a Windows installation. This may be because BitLocker is enabled on the partition. If so, disable BitLocker on the disk before removing Boot Camp.


As far as I know I'm not using BitLocker and the FileVault is turned off. Other than the main partition there is a small partition which is 16.8MB which cannot be removed. Any ideas?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
