I once again bring up this thread because I still haven't fixed the issue. Whenever I try to format the disk in Bootcamp, it says "Your bootable USB drive could not be created. Error in formatting disk." Let me know if you need information, I'll be happy to provide it, and thankful if you help me fix this issue.

From your other post...
dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *121.3 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 121.1 GB disk0s2
/dev/disk1 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *2.0 TB disk1
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1
2: Apple_APFS Container disk2 2.0 TB disk1s2
The highlighted part is invalid. The 121GB partition was formatted as BOOTCAMP (accidentally or intentionally). BCA will not work when Install Option is enabled, given this configuration. If APFS Fusion is in use, the secondary disk is partitioned for Windows.
I just want to understand the concepts better. Thanks!
Using the following steps, you can correct the issue.
Wow, this actually worked. Thank you so much. I suspected that it was due to the hard drive, but didn't know what to do.
You've also supported me through my last post as well. Thank you for everything.
Thank you, I will try this. Just a couple question I have:
How do I know if I have a bad Fusion Drive?
How does having a split Fusion Drive effect how Bootcamp is installed?

I assume you are referring to Bootcamp Installation Issues - Apple Community. Did you ever rebuild your Fusion drive using resetFusion?
No, I have not done that before. How do I do so? I think Bootcamp is not working because my hard drive is corrupted or something.
Excellent! Please post back if you run into any further issues.
