Bootcamp: The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition

So I have been getting sick of windows emulators (Parallels, VmWare etc.) and I want to use Bootcamp because then it will run faster. Problem is, this message pops up when I enter Boot Camp Assistant.

"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition"

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10), (13-inch, Early 2011)

Hi exoticaurora101,
