In continuation of another post above a bootcamp disk problem, i ask to now how to crate a Bootcamp partition on a 3To. Fusion drive using command on terminal like:
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk1
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk1
The end of the first thread:
Can't format former Boot Camp partition
Thanks.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Sorry, did not get a chance to post on this before.
There are two options,
1. Use diskutil cs resizeStack, or,
2. Re-install Yosemite by using the steps from the previous thread, but this time create a Bootcamp-suitable volume also.
This is very interesting. Your GPT is

and your MBR is already populated as

These match, so you do not need Gdisk. Run Bootcamp Assistant, and click on the last option only, if the Windows installer starts and lets you choose this BC partition, continue.
If it gives an error, use BCA and check the first two boxes (there is no need to allow bootcamp to partition the disk, since it is already there), which will build the USB/ISO (depending on you iMac model). BCA should also detect this partition as one for Windows based on the MBR.
What year is your iMac? Does it have a built-in Optical Drive?
Late 2012 for my iMac, no optical drive.
And for the 1To missing, installing Windows repair this problem?
Create the USB/ISO using only the first two options. Leave the USB plugged in, and start from the USB and install Windows.
The 1Tb Free Space can be fixed once you have Windows installed and running.
Same problem than before: I format the partition in NTFS and after Windows refuse to install saying he can't create a new partition or localised a partition. I'am so disappointed. 😕
If you format the partition, it is there. Can you scroll down in the partition list?
Can you post a screen shot? Leave it on the screen with the error message.
The image:
Traduction: "The program of installation was not able to create a new system partition or localize a existing system partition. Consult files newspapers of installation for more information."
If you click on format, are you allowed to select it and click next?
Yes, it's already formatted. That the answer i have when it's done.
Your screen looks a bit different from http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf Page 6.
No, that the same, only my problem doesn't appear in the problem's list. All of this began to be ridiculous, i am thinking to give my imac to an Applestore and let them do this awesome operation. 😢
So, how can i recover 3To of disk space for my Macintosh HD disk?
Sorry, i dont say please. 😉

Apologies, my phone just showed these messages.
1. The Untitled volume is NTFS. The MBR matches.
2. If you want to return it back to the default 3TB Fusion drive, we did this on the this thread - Can't format former Boot Camp partition - see page 5.
Ok Thanks, i'll do that later.
May be i'am going to try this method:

Let me know how it goes. Very curious about this method.
