Hi all, I have to install windows for some schoolwork but I keep getting this warning that boot camp cannot partition my drive. I have tried the following with no luck.

This is what I get when I run diskutil list


By the way I'm on a 2017 macbook air 128gb.


I really need to run windows on this machine, I hope you guys can help. Thanks in advance!

Hi again,


By erasing the whole entire disk did you mean the macintosh HD or the whole SSD? Because I’ve erased the whole SSD than I tried to restore from my time machine from internet recovery and it said to do it in the migration assistant. Then I tried to install big sur through the internet recovery but it got stuck on the first page when I hit continue.


ı’ve created a big sur installer on a flash drive from another mac. But when I hit option while booting up the system it goes to internet recovery directly.


How should I proceed? Thanks again for your help.


edit_addition: oh okay so I didn’t make a mistake by erasing the whole SSD
